What You'll Learn

Miami University’s miniMBA program is a fast-track, light-sample version of the full MBA. It abridges a 2-year MBA degree into an "overview" learning experience of approximately 24 hours of media content. This program is ideal for professionals who want to strengthen their perception of the modern business world, with innovation and informed business decision-making at its core.

The program includes MBA essentials, such as leadership, entrepreneurship, accounting and finance, but will be more laser-focused on the concepts and activities at the forefront of these business areas. Each topic will feature the highest quality mini lectures, meaningful readings, and case studies, each taught by Miami University’s Farmer School of Business faculty. To add to your learning, and to include a little Miami University Love and Honor, we’ve included interviews with some of our successful Miami alumni.
