The Finish in Five MBA Program provides the working professional a structured path through an AACSB accredited MBA in five semesters. The program assures participants of course availability, fixed schedules, a specified start date and a specified finish date. For those without a business study background, combining the Finish in Five MBA Program with the Accelerated MBA Foundations makes it possible for the qualified applicant to complete the MBA at UWF in no more than two years.

The program admits applicants who will commit to taking two courses per term in a prescribed sequence. Thus, we build a cohort of participants that track through the program at the same rate and take the same course load. This results in developing a comfortable working relationship with other members of your "cohort". In addition, the student-to-student learning, the personal interaction that occurs between experienced professionals, will be enhanced.

For students entering the Finish in Five MBA Program, a completed MBA portfolio must be presented to the MBA Director in order to receive a degree. Please click here (PDF) to view more information about the MBA portfolio, including what comprises the MBA Portfolio, what courses are involved, and the correct steps involved in submission of your MBA portfolio.
