In cooperation with the Air War College, WGU has developed a unique
MBA that is only available to graduates of the Air War College. The
result: A great MBA program you can complete quickly!
You will automatically clear three of the subject areas. The remaining subject
area, Graduate-Level Business Core, covers all the essential functional
business expertise you will need to become a much-sought-after business
executive.
You will develop sophisticated skills and knowledge across multiple business
disciplines coupled with the leadership training you obtained through the Air
War College. The program prepares you for a mid-level to upper-level management
position in business, industry, and non-profit organizations.
How quickly can you finish the program?
It depends. The Business Core subject area is designed
to be finished in about a year. But because WGU is competency-based, some
students could finish quicker; others could take longer. The three other
subject areas will be cleared by the academic work completed through the AWC
Residence Program or Non-Residence Program. Overall the MBA—Strategic
Leadership Emphasis can be finished in about half the time of other quality
MBAs.
You'll probably need to speak to an Enrollment Counselor for a more detailed
explanation. Just complete the Inquiry Form to the right or call our toll-free

Is WGU Right For You?
Can you handle tests and assignments? Good. Because WGU programs are
"competency-based." We don't measure progress by credit hours or seat time.
Your course of study prepares you for challenging assessments that determine
your progress. At WGU proving your competence is what's critical. (Talk to an
Enrollment Counselor for a better understanding.)
WGU is ideal for the working professional who needs flexibility and can thrive
with a high degree of independence. Working closely with faculty mentors
committed to your success, you follow a personalized program that allows you to
accelerate if you have existing competencies in any of the core business skills
areas or commit significant time to your program.
Is WGU easy?
Quite simply, no. Expect to be
challenged.
"WGU was a great way for me to finish my degree. I often
have to work late, so the competency-based approach of WGU allowed me to
complete my degree at my own pace."
