Choose the plan that complements your lifestyle:

  • 21-month plan - Full-time course load maximizes the MBA experience. 
  • 24-month plan - Earn your MBA in two years while still working full-time or part-time. 
  • 36-month plan - The most accommodating of the Global MBA options. 

For those doing the 21-month plan, you may also choose a China or Japan focus, which allows you to take advantage of the excellent language courses offered at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa and find a study abroad or internship experience in those countries. 

Our Global MBA program is the only AACSB International accredited graduate program in Hawai`i and is one of the few MBA programs in the US with a true Asia-Pacific focus. Students graduate feeling confident that their degree will satisfy the expectations of a wide range of quality standards relating to strategic management of resources, interactions of faculty and students in the educational process and achievement of learning goals in degree programs.
