An MBA that Fits
No problem. Choose online, on-campus or hybrid study, with most part-time students taking one or two courses per semester. Online classes are asynchronous, and most campus classes meet in the evening.
It’s not. An MBA builds a foundation of core business skills, then you can choose specializations or electives that match your goals. Nine specializations are available fully online, including artificial intelligence and business analytics.
Many students are sponsored; many are not. Options include scholarships, loans and employer tuition assistance. To help assess the investment, consider that Lerner online MBA alumni from the class of 2025 reported an average $24,000 salary increase while enrolled—more than half the program’s published tuition of $43,662.
No problem. If you apply without scores, request a waiver on the application’s Test Score Waivers page. Your application also includes your academic record, resume, essays and recommendations.
Choose between the following specializations:
- Artificial intelligence
- Business analytics
- Digital and social media
- Finance
- Healthcare management
- Information technology
- International business
- Public relations
- Strategic leadership
