FCB's frequently asked questions
The W. A. Franke College of
Business is fully accredited by AACSB
International and offered in two accelerated,
full-time formats: 10-months for students with an
undergraduate business degree. 18-months for
students with a non-business undergraduate degree.
Designed to impact the short and long-term careers
of graduates, the NAU MBA program approaches
graduate business education as an integrated whole.
Since students are typically taught to think and act
within functional silos, a different way of thinking
is required when approaching business problems on a
cross-functional and integrated basis. Students
learn to identify, analyze, and solve problems with
an enterprise-wide perspective.
Students complete 20 hours of team-based,
integrated MBA core classes and select four
electives (12 hours) for their emphasis.
