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.

- Average: GPA 3.34, 5 years experience and 61,200$ tuition
- Start in may
If someone found other challenging programs in the USA I would be happy to look at them. My application is planned for this summer, so there is still some time to decide.

Canada has a decent 1 year program at Ivy (University of Western). Pretty intensive considering the timing but i was thinking to have this as my back up if the US schools don't work out

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.

That highly depends on the programe your looking at. Take Emory (Goizueta) for example:
Average GMAT Score is lower with 642 compared to 680. GPA is comparable and work experience tends to be more. https://www.goizueta.emory.edu/degree/fulltimemba/class_profiles.html
... have to research and see what fits your profile
