If you need to advance your career sooner than later, you've found the online MBA that can fit into your busy life. Southern New Hampshire University's new Master of Business Administration program has the flexibility you need to get where you want to go while positioning yourself for career advancement in about 1 year. And at just under $19,000 total tuition our accredited online MBA program is also an affordable solution that can fit your budget. Plus, you won't only earn an MBA. We revised our curriculum in 2021, so that in each course throughout the program, there's an opportunity for you to earn industry-recognized business credentials as well. You can gain a competitive advantage each term as you fill your resume with your additional skill sets and certificates.

"The exciting thing about this degree is that we left behind preconceived notions about what an MBA program is and really leaned forward into what it should be by thoughtfully anticipating the future," said Dr. Andrew Gallion, an adjunct instructor at SNHU who served as a subject-matter expert for the university's new master's program. "We looked at current trends to predict what skills will be required. ... This program will certainly differentiate itself with a different focus on the future whereas most programs focus on the present."

Learn how to:

- Analyze and interpret data for decision-making

You can also choose from 15+ career-focused concentrations, to tailor the program more closely to your personal interest. Popular concentrations include healthcare management, project management, and human resources. Featuring a brand-new curriculum, the revised online MBA program at Southern New Hampshire University can best be described as hands-on preparation for becoming a leader of tomorrow.

First, the program now has 7 core courses. That means all MBA students are required to take these courses. Previously set up to separate subjects like finance, marketing, and strategy the curriculum now weaves these areas throughout the classes about optimizing brands, measuring success, and innovation. The format of the courses has been reworked as well. All classes now contain scenario-based learning, which gives you the opportunity to practice the course content in a real-world scenario of a likely business problem.

"The learner will be immersed in an experience with learning tools and an instructor who acts as a mentor," said Dr. Jessica Rogers, an associate dean at SNHU. "The scenario solution is mapped for the student to break challenges into sub-tasks, leading to a conclusion and assignment submission. By taking part in several scenarios, you can bring advanced expertise to organizations."

"The hope for this program is to provide students with an authentic learning experience that mimics the workplace," said Justin Brigham, a senior instructional designer with the learning science and assessment team at SNHU. Also included in the new curriculum are a variety of very current resources."

"Learners will see strategic use of multimedia, interactive assignments, and video content," Rogers said. "They will also see content that is relevant to today's business environments. ... Attention was given to the student experience and variety of ways in which they learn and digest information."

This was in response to listening to both students and academic advisors. Learners have hectic schedules and it's always been important to SNHU to meet them where they are. "Students have very busy lives and we received a lot of feedback around the assignment schedule being more flexible, the ability to have mobile-friendly resources and for the learning experience to be more interactive," Brigham said. "I'm happy to say these are all things we've worked to implement into this program." To say that SNHU's new MBA program has moved away from a traditional format might be an understatement."

"This new program looks away from the design and content of past, more traditional programs and forwards into the future for the skills needed to succeed," said Dr. Andrew Gallion, an adjunct instructor at SNHU who served as a subject-matter expert for the university's new master's program. "While a subject like accounting appears to be pretty straightforward, having an innovative mindset can push the practice forward and create efficiencies and new techniques."

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) was in everyone's minds while creating the new program. Having skills that are and will be in demand from employers is crucial for student success. 4IR focuses on technology, merging biological, digital, and physical worlds. It changes the way we work, communicate and go through our lives.

Because of that, the new MBA program can help you develop 4IR-ready skills like:

- Cognitive flexibility

- Complex problem-solving

- Coordinating with others

- Creativity

- Critical thinking

- Emotional intelligence

- Environment and society conscious

- Judgment and decision-making

- Negotiation

- People management

- Service orientation

In turn, you'll enhance your soft skills, a key ingredient for success in any aspect of the business world. Another feature you'll benefit from are the embedded credentials you can earn within courses. These industry-recognized certifications can help you build up your resume even before you graduate. "Not only will students leave with their MBA, but along the way, they will have the opportunity to gain badges and certificates that can be immediately shared out to their network and potential employers," Brigham said. The academic team at SNHU has also lined up highly successful business experts and leaders from many industries who will present in each course through video."

"The videos will inform students about the course content while the expert will share their own life lessons," said Dr. Mark Hobson, SNHU's senior associate dean for business. "These speakers are lifelong learners and friends of Southern New Hampshire University. Many of them are alumni of our MBA program."

In short, these experts will share advice and expertise by a video in every course. For example, one of the experts is Howard Brodsky, co-founder, chairman, and co-chief executive officer of CCA Global Partners, which is one of the largest privately held companies in the United States. "An MBA gives you the tools to be more successful quicker," Brodsky said. "I feel very strongly that one of the great benefits of the new MBA program at Southern New Hampshire University is that you're going to get really seasoned business leaders to give you ideas and experience that can help you in your path to success."

Whether you're looking to enhance your current career, improve your ability to switch careers, or ensure the success of your own business, our business degree coursework offers you the flexibility to tailor your program around your core skills and interests through 15+ career-oriented concentrations. Aside from the 7 core courses that make up the majority of the MBA program, you can also choose to take 3 courses from a selection of electives or incorporate a concentration to round out your 10-course program.

Don't have a business background? No problem. Our MBA is accessible to everyone. Interested students must have a conferred undergraduate degree for acceptance, but it can be in any field. Those without an undergraduate degree in business or a related field may be asked to complete up to 2 foundation courses to get started. These foundations cover essential business skill sets and can be used to satisfy elective requirements for the general-track MBA. With foundations, the maximum length of your online MBA would be 36 credits. Attend full-time or part-time.

Students in the MBA have the option to enroll full-time (at 2 classes per term) or part-time (with 1 class per term). Full-time students should be able to complete the program in about 1 year, while part-time students could finish in about 2 years. SNHU students are busy, often juggling jobs, family, and other obligations, so you may want to work with your academic advisor to identify the course plan that works for you. The good news is, you can switch from full-time to part-time and back again as often as you want.
