Freedom Without Compromise.

Isenberg's Online MBA option is ideal for individuals who look to gain further skills without taking time off.  It is for students who find it difficult to be tethered by a residential requirement and have demanding, often fluctuating, schedules week to week. The courses are structured so that you are not required to be at your computer at a particular time of day or week.  No campus visits are required as students can complete the entire degree online from anywhere in the world.  Students in the program are from the 50 US States and 23 foreign countries, lending great diversity to the discussions in cases and group assignments. 

The Degree

Students who take their classes online will graduate with the same AACSB-accredited degree as fellow students who choose to take the traditional MBA option.  Your diploma will be granted from the Isenberg School of Management at UMass Amherst will not contain any references to "online". 

Time Commitment

On average, online courses typically carry a time commitment of approximately 9 to 11 hours per week, per course.
Students are also expected to maintain regular course participation during the semester by visiting their course website on a regular basis (typically 2-3 times per week).

Academic Honesty 

All students enrolled in online courses offered by the Isenberg School of Management and Continuing & Professional Education (CPE) are subject to both the Acceptable Use Policy for Computing & Information Technology Resources (which prohibits sharing username/password with another) and the Academic Honesty Policy of the Dean of Students Office of the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
