Full-Time One-Year MBA

In 1963, Katz became the world's first business school to offer a One-Year MBA program. The world has changed a lot since then, but our pioneering spirit and focus on accelerated career growth have stayed the same.

We help students advance in their fields by providing a 360-degree understanding of business operations. They leave Katz able to walk into a business and add value from day one. By focusing on building business agility, our students can thrive in a world that's always changing.

Re-enter the Workforce...Fast

Compared to a traditional two-year program, the Katz One-Year MBA program provides a faster return on investment. The program begins in August and finishes the following July. The condensed timeline means that students shoulder a highly intensive course load. However, we still give students the flexibility to design a schedule that fits their needs. 

Collaboration Required

Diversity is one of our program's greatest strengths. While a proven skill for business is a common thread, it is not uncommon to have a class composed of Certified Public Accountants, engineers, doctors, attorneys, entrepreneurs, and individuals poised to take over the family business. Our students build interdisciplinary skills by working with people from different backgrounds, and different ways of thinking.

Degree Requirements

Our applicants have substantial work experience and strong academic backgrounds. The ideal candidate has focused career goals and has earned an undergraduate degree. After being admitted into the One-Year MBA program, a student must fulfill the following requirements to graduate:

• A minimum of 51 credits of approved graduate work
• The appropriate distribution of required core courses and elective courses
• A minimum cumulative quality point average (QPA) of 3.0 (B)
