Hi eveyone,

I have been researching about one-year MBA's in the USA lately. Since the information seems to be hidden very well, I wanted to share some of the information on the programs I found.

Focus are the business schools in the USA, since it is common to offer 21-24 months. In Europe most of the schools offer one-year programs.

Details are attached for the schools doing better in the ranking, but I am happy to share a few links for alternatives in the USA, that are not considered first-tier in business week.

The programs are for business / economics / math majors, that can proof the fundamental courses (e.g. Microeconomics, Finance, Management).

There are a few accelerated programs for science majors as well, which I haven't investigated further due to my background.

I am also interested in one-year accelerated MBA programs. This post was very informative! Thank you for sharing

I wonder if acceptance into these programs is more competitive than the two-year programs offered at the school. hmm.

Awesome post! Thank you so much for sharing us this information.

How is Babson College for One Year MBA? It is rated no 1 for entrepreneurship.

I may be completely off but you are considering 1 year programs (INSEAD for ex.) in Europe too, right?

Point taken. I am however asking Cr3at1v3 if he is considering 1Y MBAs in European school as well/ in addition to US programs.
Seems that if you are looking at Kellogg, you may also want to apply to INSEAD.
Maybe a different thread but I am interested in his opinion.

Tuition for Mendoza is about 70,000, for the 1 year program. 61 k is for 1 year in the 2 year program. Also, Boston University and USC Marshall have year MBAs. Though USC's 1 year MBA has a very strong focus on east asia and is not just an accelerated version of their standard MBA.

Great list!

One question: Where do you find the 1 Year Stanford?

Looking into top 50 (not only US) you might want to check SDA Bocconi as well. Interesting program!

After seeing my GF doing the 2 year program I am even more convinced to do 1 year only

Sorry, but isn't that the Masters and an announcement that the academic year was changed to 12 months.

I don't see that connected to the MBA (that still only has a 2 year option)

BUT please proof me wrong, one-year MBA at Stanford would be very interesting to me!
