Master of Business Administration (MBA) Cohort System

Opening a new chapter of your life can be intimidating and a support system is crucial. With the UAS MBA's cohort system, you work and connect with people who are sharing an experience similar to yours. Together, you learn the valuable skills you need to succeed in the workplace. A cohort is a small group of students who work through the program together, taking the same courses and working on the same curriculum. You learn together in a comfortable online environment where your success is a priority. As you learn, you gain from the expertise of other students and build a network of adults who share your commitment to excellence. Like you, they are returning to school to earn a degree, while trying to balance family and work.

In our graduate business program, having solid support is important. The MBA program gathers fellow business professionals together who share your goals for success. They will be a sounding board for you as you build the skills you need to lead in the business world. More importantly, the experiences of other students will enhance your studies, and sharing together can even build long-lasting friendships. Your experience at UAS extends beyond our accredited courses and knowledgeable teachers to bring you a full professional network, while learning important management skills with practical uses. 

The cohort model is designed so that participants can get to know each other and interact with each other extensively. It provides students with unmatched teamwork, interaction, and life-long networking opportunities. Research on learning in programs oriented towards experienced participants shows that such interaction adds substantially to program value. To achieve this value, the cohort must remain relatively small, so the UAS MBA has a maximum intake of 25 in each annual cohort.
