UIC launches accelerated MBA program

The Liautaud Graduate School of Business is offering an accelerated MBA degree program, beginning in May.

Students in the 12-month, full-time program will choose between two tracks: financial markets and risk management, or international management.

“This program will prepare students to seize today’s most exciting opportunities and position themselves competitively in the global market,” said Shari Holmer Lewis, assistant dean of the College of Business Administration.

The program is cohort-based, so students start and stay together in the program through graduation, helping form lasting business and professional relationships.

Cohorts will benefit from a large enrollment of students from Asian countries, who bring a crosscultural perspective on some of the world’s fastest growing economies.

March 15 is the application deadline for the financial markets and risk management track that begins in May. June 15 is the application deadline for the strategic and international business management track, which begins in August.

More information is available online.  Candidates apply through the Liautaud Graduate School of Business.
