Hybrid MBA Program
There may never be a perfect time to go back to school. You’ve got your job, personal commitments and perhaps even family responsibilities. But you know you’d have a better chance of moving into a leadership role or pivoting to a new career if you had an MBA.
The Hybrid MBA at Leeds is designed to offer flexibility for busy working professionals by providing a blend of convenient online and in-person learning to help you balance your other priorities. And you always have access to personal support to help you smoothly navigate the program.
You also get a suite of services and enrichment typically reserved for full-time or executive MBA programs: a valuable cohort experience, academic and career advising, networking opportunities, professional development, and co-curricular activities. Students can take electives in either the Evening or Full-Time MBA formats as space allows. In addition, a Capstone Project, an accumulation of the two-year program, helps students demonstrate the skills they have learned in the program.
In short, the Hybrid gives you the flexibility and support you need to successfully earn your MBA.
