The MBA 4+1 program is a great opportunity for our current Longwood students. They can finish their Master’s degree in 12 or less months after graduating with their undergraduate degree. The entire program is online so they have the flexibility of relocating after graduation if they choose. It doesn’t matter which major students are in, an MBA is designed to prepare you for making managerial decisions and leading people.
