Fast-Track MBA's - Gabe - 12-19-2008
The University of Central Oklahoma has a 7 course MBA
American InterContinental University's MBA is only 8 courses
Personally, I like programs such as these and accreditors obviously don't have a problem with them either including the ACBSP (as in UCO's case).
My good buddy received his MBA from RA King College and specialized in finance. It's his position that if anyone simply wants a general MBA there's no reason it couldn't be 7 or 8 courses (King's would technically be 9 courses if you minus the 3 specialization courses). However, AIU's remains only 8 courses & that's including a specialization which is 2 courses which I find somewhat interesting since KING & AIU are both SACS accredited.
I'm curious to see if anyone is in favor of (or against) such programs.

UCO's MBA may only be 7 courses but it's still a 35 credit curriculum. That is comparable to the typical 36 credit master's program; it's just squeezed into 7 courses. I'm okay with it but would have a different opinion if it were a 21 credit MBA program. (7 courses x 3 credits/course = 21 credits) In such a situation it would be more like a mini MBA degree.
