The Best Online MBA Programs In Florida

Program summary

More than half of the courses include applied learning that feeds an integrated Portfolio, built around an industry each student selects.

The general online MBA is 33 credit hours and can be completed in as few as 14 months, with multiple start dates each year. The core opens with Business Process Integration, where students solve a complex, integrated real-life business problem, and Information Resources and Industry Analysis lays the groundwork for the Portfolio. Emphasis options include Business Analytics, Cybersecurity Management, and Hospitality and Tourism Leadership.

The GMAT/GRE requirement is temporarily waived for all applicants. Applicants need a bachelor's degree and a professional résumé showing increasing responsibility, and those with a GPA below 3.0 may still apply for holistic review. An undergraduate business degree is not required, and accelerated MBA foundation courses cover proficiency in accounting, economics, statistics, finance and management.

Program summary

Eight optional concentrations include Blue Economy and Compliance, Risk and Anti-money Laundering, alongside Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Healthcare Analytics and Personal Financial Planning.

The 33-credit program takes at least three semesters full-time or about three years part-time, and coursework must be finished within five years. Students take core courses, five graduate business electives (one of them global) and a team capstone built on real-world case studies, while students with recent business degrees can waive some or all foundation courses. Courses are asynchronous, supported by teamwork, weekly discussions and collaboration sessions.

A mandatory two-day Residency near the start of the program includes a CEO discussion panel, a mini-case competition and an ethical leadership workshop. Admission requirements match the on-campus Professional MBA, with holistic review, no minimum GMAT or GRE score and waivers for qualifying candidates; work experience is not required, though most students have two to three years. Optional one-week, in-person immersion electives cover methods such as design thinking and Lean Six Sigma.

Program summary

Delivered fully online with no campus visit required, the program lets students add a specialization such as real estate, business analytics, or risk management and insurance.

The 39-credit program takes seven semesters, pairing a core that runs from accounting and marketing to operations and strategy with 12 hours of electives. Students enter in summer, fall or spring, and classes are taught by the same professors who teach on campus. The college has also added an Online MBA with a Major in Alternative Investments and Finance and an Online MBA with a Major in Healthcare Administration.

GMAT and GRE scores are optional and are submitted only if they strengthen an application. Applicants need a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution and at least one year of professional work experience; business coursework is not required, though applicants are expected to know economics, finance, accounting, statistics, calculus and management principles. The program is pitched to mobile military personnel and business executives.
