How Do Online MBA Programs Work?
Husson offers its classes in convenient seven-week terms, so students can flexibly pace their classes to work around their own schedule. We deliver our classes in Canvas, a learning management system. Our classes are designed to be asynchronous; we never ask all students to be in class at a particular time or be logged in together. You access the class when it fits your schedule.
Each class is carefully designed to let students know what they are supposed to be doing and why they are being asked to do it! Assignments are carefully created to be applicable, real world projects and instruction is clear and concise so that you get right to the point. You can apply your learning in your professional life right away.
Along the way, you will work with a student success advisor who will be available to assist you in navigating the curriculum and planning classes. They will check in with you regularly to assist you in your success.
