NLU’S NEW 12K MBA DELIVERS SPEED, FLEXIBILITY, AND AFFORDABILITY—WITHOUT SACRIFICING QUALITY.
I n summer 2023, NLU’s Graduate School of Business and Leadership (GSBL) team took on the challenge of completely redesigning the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program. The goal was to enhance accessibility by offering a streamlined, cost- effective degree without compromising quality. Key changes included reducing the program from 39 to 30 semester hours and eliminating concentrations. These revisions responded to student needs for a faster path to graduation and a more affordable option. The result was the introduction of the 12K MBA, an accelerated, executive-style program that can be completed in one year,
with total tuition costs of $12,000. Students now have the flexibility to choose between the one-year executive MBA or a five-term traditional MBA, making the program more student-centric. To further expand access, NLU introduced a low-residency weekend MBA, available in the fall and spring, which combines online courses with regular opportunities for in-person learning and networking. This third modality has contributed to the program’s impressive growth, with weekend enrollments surpassing 100 students in a single term.
