Full-Time MBA

Benefit from a business school that offers a unique combination of rigor, leadership training and support. Only at UNC Kenan-Flagler.

Recruiters often report that our MBA grads – unlike many from other schools – are more fully prepared to take action, lead and influence, even early in their careers. Here’s how our Program develops these strengths:

Learning Environment

With 100+ electives and a research-active, passionate faculty who are not only committed to outstanding teaching -- but also delivering current insights to the classroom -- you’ll build essential analytical skills that incorporate the latest business thinking.

Collaborative Culture

Our student-focused atmosphere provides a level of accessibility and support rarely seen in business schools. The students and faculty here are genuinely dedicated to helping you succeed, empowering you to become a more grounded, effective version of yourself.

Leadership Development

Most MBA schools teach leadership principles; we offer something more. Through our pioneering, deeply integrated leadership program, you’ll develop essential communication and problem-solving skills through constant practice, feedback and reflection.

Experiential Opportunities

Our wide range of experiential activities allows you to add critical experience to your classroom learning. Immerse yourself in real-world projects, student-led investment management, global experiences, building portfolio management skills, or case competitions. Or, learn from projects available through the Kenan Institute, or one of our many centers in sustainable enterprise, entrepreneurship or real estate.

If a student-focused, exceptional program that builds both intelligence and character sounds like the right fit for your needs, please visit us, or apply for an MBA at UNC Kenan-Flagler.
