Furthermore, being based in Richmond’s vibrant urban landscape, the VCU Online MBA program has the advantage of being synonymous with VCU’s long-established, extensive professional network.  As a result, the program offers a number of additional benefits, including:

  • Access to local leaders and innovators in business
  • Professional development and coaching
  • Guest Speakers
  • Networking Events
  • Creativity and Innovation focus
  • Experiential Learning
  • Leadership Development
  • Three Residency Weekends
  • Competitive tuition

The VCU MBA programs is accredited by AACSB International, the premier accrediting agency. Being AACSB-accredited means a business school is able to continuously pass a strict set of standards that ensure quality. Less than 5% of the more than 13,000 business schools in the world have earned AACSB accreditation.

The VCU Online MBA is a 2-year cohort based program consisting of twelve 3-credit courses, six 1-credit courses, and three residency weekends, also 1-credit each.

The format is both synchronous and asynchronous – offering a synchronous evening video conference one night a week, in addition to online content.
