Master of Business Administration
M.B.A. Fact Sheet
The Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program at GCU at Woodbridge will accommodate your lifestyle, enabling you to work, learn, and develop the key analytical concepts and tools you need for business success today.
The program is geared toward accomplished and busy professionals who want an M.B.A. but don’t want to interrupt their careers. The program offers them the opportunity to sharpen their business leadership skills and knowledge, and candidates learn to apply ethics in business decision-making through case studies.
The M.B.A. is delivered in one of two ways: an accelerated one-year program or a traditional two-year program. Both options run in cohorts of at least 12 students.

"My experience at Georgian Court University was an amazing experience from day one! As a full-time evening student, I learned so much from the professors and fellow peers. Georgian Court University's M.B.A. program was my first choice because they offered small class sizes, professors with professional business experience, and a team approach to learning.
I managed to graduate with a 3.5 GPA and was inducted into Delta Mu Delta, the National Honor Society of Business. As a proud alumna, I am gratified by the opportunity to have acquired my M.B.A. from such a prestigious university and encourage anyone who has a passion for excellence to consider Georgian Court University."
