Program Flexibility

The Simmons MBA program is designed for flexibility. SOM students may choose from several options, including an accelerated 16-month program, or part-time options that allow students to continue to work while earning their degree. In addition, Simmons offers daytime and evening classes, all taught by the same exceptional faculty. Full-time and part-time students follow a similar structured sequence of courses.

Full-Time MBA Program:

Required courses scheduled during days; electives scheduled on evenings and occasional weekends

  • Accelerated 16-month
  • 12-month program for experienced professionals

Part-Time MBA Program:

All classes scheduled on evenings and occasional weekends

Full-time MBA Program Options

Our rigorous 16-month, full-time program provides all the content of a traditional two-year MBA curriculum in a compressed time frame, including an opportunity to pursue international study or an internship. It is also suited for women who choose to keep their summers free to attend to family and other responsibilities.

For those who require a faster pace, our accelerated 12-month option allows a student with significant professional experience to take a sabbatical from her career in order to earn her MBA degree. Both options reduce the time the student is out of the workforce and reduce the cost of your educational investment.

Part-time MBA Program Options

Simmons’s part-time MBA options are designed for students who wish to maintain greater flexibility to balance school, work, and other responsibilities. Our two-year and three-year options allow students to maintain employment while pursuing their degree.

Students may also take a class or two before fully enrolling in the program to see if the Simmons MBA is right for them. Learn more about how to take advantage of this opportunity by contacting the admissions office at 617-521-3840.
