For example, in the Northern Hemisphere, they often begin in late August or early September of year one and continue until May or June of year two, with a three to four-month summer break in between years one and two. Students enter with a reasonable amount of prior real-world work experience and take classes during weekdays like other university students. A typical full-time, accelerated, part-time, or modular MBA requires 60 credits (600 class hours) of graduate work. </p><p>Accelerated MBA programs are a variation of the two-year programs. They involve a higher course load with more intense class and examination schedules and are usually condensed into one year. They usually have less downtime during the program and between semesters. For example, there is no three to four-month summer break, and between semesters there might be seven to ten days off rather than three to five weeks vacation. Accelerated programs typically have a lower cost than full-time two-year programs. </p><p>Part-time MBA programs normally hold classes on weekday evenings after normal working hours, or on weekends. Part-time programs normally last three years or more. The students in these programs typically consist of working professionals, who take a light course load for a longer period of time until the graduation requirements are met. </p><p>Evening (second shift) MBA programs are full-time programs that normally hold classes on weekday evenings, after normal working hours, or on weekends for a duration of two years. The students in these programs typically consist of working professionals, who can not leave their work to pursue a full-time regular shift MBA. Most second shift programs are offered at universities in India. </p><p>Modular MBA programs are similar to part-time programs, although typically employing a lock-step curriculum with classes packaged together in blocks lasting from one to three weeks. </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Executive_MBA_(EMBA)"></span> Executive (part-time) MBA (EMBA) programs developed to meet the educational needs of managers and executives, allowing students to earn an MBA (or another business-related graduate degree) in two years or less while working full-time. Participants come from every type and size of organization – profit, nonprofit, government – representing a variety of industries. EMBA students typically have a higher level of work experience, often 10 years or more, compared to other MBA students. In response to the increasing number of EMBA programs offered, The Executive MBA Council was formed in 1981 to advance executive education. </p><p>Full-time executive MBA programs are a new category of full-time one year MBA programs aimed at professionals with approximately five years or more. They are primarily offered in countries like India where the two-year MBA program is targeted at fresh graduates with no experience or minimal experience. These full-time executive MBA programs are similar to one year MBA programs offered by schools like Insead and <a href="/wiki/International_Institute_for_Management_Development" title="International Institute for Management Development">IMD</a>. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Distance_learning" class="mw-redirect" title="Distance learning">Distance learning</a> MBA programs hold classes off-campus. These programs can be offered in a number of different formats: <a href="/wiki/Correspondence_course" class="mw-redirect" title="Correspondence course">correspondence courses</a> by <a href="/wiki/Postal_mail" class="mw-redirect" title="Postal mail">postal mail</a> or email, non-interactive <a href="/wiki/Broadcast_video" class="mw-redirect" title="Broadcast video">broadcast video</a>, pre-recorded video, live <a href="/wiki/Teleconference" title="Teleconference">teleconference</a> or <a href="/wiki/Videoconference" class="mw-redirect" title="Videoconference">videoconference</a>, offline or online computer courses.

This is generally achieved by allowing core courses of one program to count as electives in the other. Some business schools offer programs in which students can earn both a <a href="/wiki/Bachelor%27s_degree" title="Bachelor's degree">bachelor's degree</a> in <a href="/wiki/Business_administration" title="Business administration">business administration</a> and an MBA in five years. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Mini-MBA" title="Mini-MBA">Mini-MBA</a> is a term used by many non-profit and <a href="/wiki/For-profit" class="mw-redirect" title="For-profit">for-profit</a> institutions to describe a <a href="/wiki/Training" title="Training">training</a> regimen focused on the fundamentals of business. In the past, Mini-MBA programs have typically been offered as non-credit bearing courses that require less than 100 hours of total learning. However, due to the criticisms of these certificates, many schools have now shifted their programs to offer courses for full credit so that they may be applied towards a complete traditional MBA degree. This is to allow students to verify business-related coursework for employment purposes and still allow the option to complete a full-time MBA degree program at a later period if they elect to do so. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Admissions_criteria">Admissions criteria</h3></div> <p>Many programs base their <a href="/wiki/University_and_college_admission" title="University and college admission">admission</a> decisions on a combination of undergraduate <a href="/wiki/Grading_in_education" title="Grading in education">grade point average</a>, academic transcripts, entrance exam scores (for example, the GMAT or the GRE test score), a résumé containing significant work experience, essays, letters of recommendation, group discussions, and personal interviews. Some schools are also interested in extracurricular activities, community service activities, or volunteer work and how the student can improve the school's diversity and contribute to the student body as a whole. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Graduate_Management_Admission_Test" title="Graduate Management Admission Test">Graduate Management Admission Test</a> (GMAT) is the most prominently used entrance exam for admissions into MBA programs. The <a href="/wiki/Graduate_Record_Examination" class="mw-redirect" title="Graduate Record Examination">Graduate Record Examination</a> (GRE) is also accepted by almost all MBA programs in order to fulfill any entrance exam requirement they may have.<sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some schools do not weigh entrance exam scores as heavily as other criteria, and some programs do not require entrance exam scores for admission. In order to achieve a diverse class, business schools also consider the target male-female ratio and local-international student ratios. In rare cases, some MBA degrees do not require students to have an undergraduate degree and will accept significant management experience in lieu of an undergraduate degree. In the UK, for example, a <a href="/wiki/Higher_National_Diploma" title="Higher National Diploma">Higher National Diploma</a> (HND) or even <a href="/wiki/Higher_National_Certificate" title="Higher National Certificate">Higher National Certificate</a> (HNC) is acceptable in some programs. </p><p>Depending on the program, type and duration of work experience can be a critical admissions component for many MBA programs.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many top-tier programs require five or more years of work experience for admission.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>MBA admissions <a href="/wiki/Consulting_firm" title="Consulting firm">consulting services</a> have been increasingly used by prospective MBA applicants to improve their chances of admission.

The accounting course(s) may treat <a href="/wiki/Financial_accounting" title="Financial accounting">financial</a> and <a href="/wiki/Management_accounting" title="Management accounting">management accounting</a> separately or in one hybrid course. Financial accounting deals mainly in the interpretation (and preparation) of financial statements while management accounting deals mainly in the analysis of internal results. The economics course covers <a href="/wiki/Managerial_economics" title="Managerial economics">managerial economics</a>, a technical course that mainly focuses on product pricing as influenced by microeconomic theory, and aggregate-or <a href="/wiki/Macroeconomics" title="Macroeconomics">macroeconomics</a>, which deals with topics like the banking system, the money supply, and inflation. <a href="/wiki/Operations_Research" class="mw-redirect" title="Operations Research">Operations Research</a> and statistics are sometimes combined as "Managerial Decision-Making" or "<a href="/wiki/Business_mathematics#Postgraduate" title="Business mathematics">Quantitative Decision-Making</a>"; organizational behavior and human resource management may similarly be combined. In many programs, applicants with appropriate background may be exempt from various analytical courses. </p><p>With these as underpin, the course then covers the core management functions, and, in turn, allows students to select from further advanced topics as appropriate. Some programs treat the curricula here in two parts: the first course provides an overview, while the second revisits the subject in-depth (perhaps as specializations); alternatively, the first addresses short-term, tactical problems, while the second addresses long-term, strategic problems (e.g., "Financial Management I" might cover <a href="/wiki/Working_capital_management" class="mw-redirect" title="Working capital management">working capital management</a>, while part II covers <a href="/wiki/Corporate_finance#Investment_and_project_valuation" title="Corporate finance">capital investment decisions</a>). An <a href="/wiki/Information_systems" class="mw-redirect" title="Information systems">Information systems</a> / <a href="/wiki/Information_technology" title="Information technology">technology</a> course is increasingly included as a core functional course rather than an elective. Ethics training is often delivered with coursework in corporate social responsibility and corporate governance. Note that - generally - courses here, although technical in scope, are, ultimately, oriented toward corporate management. (For example, the principal finance course may cover the technicalities of financial instrument valuation and <a href="/wiki/Capital_market" title="Capital market">capital raising</a>, but does so from the perspective of <a href="/wiki/Managerial_finance" title="Managerial finance">managerial finance</a>, as opposed to <a href="/wiki/Investment_banking" title="Investment banking">investment banking</a>.) Technically-oriented courses, if offered, will be via a specialization. </p><p>Programs may also include coursework-based training in the skills needed at senior levels of management: <a href="/wiki/Soft_skills" title="Soft skills">soft skills</a>, such as (general) leadership and negotiation; hard skills, such as <a href="/wiki/Spreadsheets" class="mw-redirect" title="Spreadsheets">spreadsheets</a> and project management; <a href="/wiki/Outline_of_thought#Creative_processes" title="Outline of thought">thinking skills</a> such as <a href="/wiki/Innovation" title="Innovation">innovation</a> and creativity. Training in areas such as <a href="/wiki/Multiculturalism" title="Multiculturalism">multiculturalism</a> and corporate social responsibility is similarly included. Company visits (including overseas travel), and guest lectures or seminars with CEOs and <a href="/wiki/Business_guru" title="Business guru">management personalities</a> may also be included. These, with the core subjects, provide the graduate with breadth, while the specialty courses provide depth. </p><p>For the business strategy component, the degree capstone, the focus is on finding <a href="/wiki/Competitive_advantage" title="Competitive advantage">competitive advantage</a> and the long-term positioning and management of the entity as a whole. Here, the key functional areas are thus synthesized to an overall view; the strategy course depicts how the various sub-disciplines integrate to tell one continuous story, with each discipline complementing the others. Corresponding training in <a href="/wiki/Entrepreneurial_leadership" title="Entrepreneurial leadership">business leadership</a> may also be scheduled and participation in a <a href="/wiki/Business_simulation" title="Business simulation">business simulation</a> or <a href="/wiki/Business_game" title="Business game">game</a> is also a common degree requirement. "Strategy" may be offered as a sequence of courses, beginning in the first part (formulation) and culminating in the second (execution), or as a single intensive course, offered during the second part. Some programs offer a specialization in "strategy", others in <a href="/wiki/Management_consulting" title="Management consulting">management consulting</a> which substantially addresses the same issues. </p><p>The MBA dissertation (or thesis in some universities) will, in general, comprise the following in some combination:<sup id="cite_ref-47" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-47"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> a <a href="/wiki/Literature_review" title="Literature review">discussion of the literature</a>, providing a critical review and structuring of what is known on a given topic, to address a specific problem; a <a href="/wiki/Case_study" title="Case study">case study</a> that goes beyond simple description, containing the analysis of hitherto unpublished material; a test of the application or limitations of some known principle or technique in a particular situation, and/or suggested modifications. </p><p>As an alternative to the dissertation, some programs instead allow for a <a href="/wiki/Project#School_and_university" title="Project">major project</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-degree.net_48-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-degree.net-48"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Here (part-time) students will address a problem current in their organization; particularly in programs with an <a href="/wiki/Action_learning" title="Action learning">action learning</a> orientation, these may be practically oriented.<sup id="cite_ref-degree.net_48-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-degree.net-48"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Most MBA programs require additional course work in research methodology, preceding the dissertation or project.
