Online MBA

Learn to Lead in Modern Business

The online Master of Business Administration (MBA) program delivered by American University’s Kogod School of Business is designed for mid-career professionals who want to learn strategic management and communication skills that will help them advance into leadership roles.

The Kogod School of Business takes an inclusive and forward-thinking approach to business education, prioritizing diversity and recognizing that 21st-century development requires a global perspective. The curriculum focuses on foundational business practices and takes advantage of Kogod’s Washington, DC, location by allowing students to create new connections within our nation’s capital during in-person immersions.

A Curriculum at the Intersection of Business and Policy

The online MBA program prepares students to apply leadership and financial analysis skills to help businesses operate more effectively across a wide range of industries. The curriculum features in-person immersions, during which students learn from leading experts in business capitals around the world, and the opportunity to select electives that personalize learning toward career goals.

In-Person Immersions

The curriculum includes two in-person immersions that allow students to solve business challenges with real companies. Each year, at least one of these sessions takes place in Washington, DC. Students collaborate with peers in group projects, network with DC professionals and faculty, and explore the nation’s capital. Immersions are also hosted in international cities such as Beijing, Madrid, and Brussels, which provide students with new perspectives on how different cultures conduct business.
