Degree Description: Colorado State University’s flexible and comprehensive Distance MBA Program (AACSB accredited since 1970) offers business professionals one of the nation’s oldest and most respected academic programs focused on business application through group collaboration. Students around the world receive the full classroom experience within days of it being delivered in our classrooms. Students may begin the program in the fall or spring of each year; applicants are invited from countries throughout the world as well as our military personnel with APO and FPO addresses. The Distance MBA Program may be completed in a 2 or 4-year format and offers students a personal connection to the campus and to their peers through direct interaction via a unique MBA Intranet that allows threaded and chat room discussions to give the feeling of being connected to the classroom and the campus. With the same academic content and rigor as the on-campus Professional MBA Program, lecture content is delivered to the distance MBA students via mixed-media DVDs and video streaming that capture the entire lecture to include PowerPoint® slides, student questions, discussions, presentations and special speakers. Distance MBA students earn a Master of Business Administration from Colorado State University not an online or distance degree.
