The Flexibility for Any Schedule
The Online MBA offers students the flexibility to complete the program at their own pace and work around busy professional and life schedules. The Online MBA includes both synchronous and asynchronous courses so students have the opportunity to interact with their peers and professors while still enjoying the benefits of an online program.
Asynchronous Courses
Online courses can be offered in an "asynchronous" format, which means that the courses are prerecorded and available anytime you are ready to access them.
Synchronous Courses
"Synchronous" courses can be completed anywhere online or through distance learning tools, but take place at a scheduled date and time and are always in the evening from 6 - 8:45 p.m.
Affordability
As an online student at Idaho State University, you have the benefit of paying in-state tuition no matter where you are located. Plus, Idaho State University's tuition for the Online MBA program is significantly more affordable than surrounding schools' programs.
Recognized for Quality
In 1978, the Idaho State University College of Business became the first business school in the state of Idaho to receive accreditation from the international Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
The AACSB represents “the longest serving global association dedicated to advancing management education worldwide,” and accredits less than five percent of schools granting business degrees in the world. The College of Business’ accounting program is also separately accredited as one of only 189 schools holding both accounting and business accreditation.
Experiential Learning
As an online student, you will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of experiential learning opportunities that go beyond the textbook or lectures. From the chance to compete in an intense national business competition to working with real clients to solve business problems, College of Business students learn the content by doing.
