MBA 8-Week Courses
Our online MBA program is an accelerated degree program. Course sessions are eight weeks long, but still contain all the information covered in a standard semester. This means you could earn your MBA from ODU faster than a typical program.
Linked Bachelor's to MBA/Early Start MPA
Interested in getting a Master of Business Administration? Or is a Master of Public Administration in your long term plans? You might be able to save time and money with early entry to either ODU's MBA or MPA programs!
