UNC’s Weekend MBA has all the rigor of a full-time
MBA program
As a Weekend MBA student, you will earn the same degree as graduates of UNC’s traditional MBA Program. Our curriculum is more concentrated than the traditional MBA. We engage our students in more in-depth classroom discussions to take advantage of their business experience. Weekend MBA students will tell you this is no “MBA-lite.”
UNC’s MBA for Executives Programs are fully accredited by AACSB International (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), the premier accrediting agency.
