Your Career Will Take Off with an MBA Designed Just for You
Master of Business Administration — Strategic Leadership
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. Learn more details about the program now!
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.
