MBA

Clayton State’s MBA program is for experienced professionals who are seeking to move their careers to the next level and beyond over the course of a 20-month, fast-track program. US students, whose time is already at a premium as busy executives, benefit from a course structure that allows for continuous full-time work outside class. International students benefit from a unique structure that meets the full-time program of study requirement, while allowing maximum time during the traditional academic week for study and preparation. Courses meet primarily every other Saturday or during the week in the evenings, and utilize online components to increase students’ ability to use technology and to help students use their time most effectively. Due to the nature of this program, there is an expectation that students will spend a minimum of three hours outside of class for every hour they spend in class.

The MBA is offered in a lock-step, cohort format to build stronger relationships among students so as to increase communication and the sharing of experiences. The curriculum will be rigorous and is designed to prepare graduates to operate successfully in a rapidly changing global world of business. The program also will enable graduates to gain an insight into one of three concentrations: Accounting, International Business, or Supply Chain Management.

The Clayton MBA is offered in three convenient locations which include the main CSU campus in Morrow, Peachtree City (Fayette County) at the Dolce Conference Center, and East Metro Atlanta (Conyers/Rockdale County) at the Rockdale Career Academy. At least one new cohort begins each Fall and Spring semesters.
