If you’re considering earning a Master of Business Administration (MBA), the question that’s likely at the top of your list is: How long does it take to get an MBA degree?
Earning your MBA is an important step in your educational and professional journey. Whether you’re about to graduate with your bachelor’s degree and are looking ahead to grad school or you’re a working professional trying to change careers or advance in the one you currently have, we’ll give you some guidance to questions like "how long does it take to get an MBA” and “how long is an MBA program” to help get you started on the right foot.
How long does it take to finish a part-time MBA program? That will depend on several factors, including how many courses you take per session, whether or not you take breaks or sessions off, the length of the program you’re enrolled in and whether you’re able to apply any qualifying transfer credits from a previous program.
At DeVry, the quickest path to earning your MBA is to enroll as a full-time student and work on an accelerated timeline, meaning continuous enrollment and taking no breaks between academic sessions. If part-time enrollment allows you to better balance your commitment to education with your other personal and professional commitments, that may be the better option for you, but it will take longer to complete your degree.
