Why ODU for an Online MBA?

Old Dominion's MBA online program is an accelerated master's degree program. Course sessions last eight weeks, and you'll learn everything that you would in a standard semester. This means you could earn your MBA online from ODU faster than in a typical program.

Old Dominion University is accredited by AACSB, having met the highest-quality standards for business programs globally.

ODU's Strome College of Business is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and is one of fewer than 200 business schools with dual AACSB Business and Accounting accreditation.

Are you a current ODU undergraduate interested in earning an MBA? Qualified students can earn credits toward their master's while completing a bachelor’s degree with our linked bachelor's to MBA program.
