Grand Valley State to offer two-year MBA

Thanks to an aggressive plan to create a full-time MBA curriculum, one of the state's leading universities could soon offer a two-year MBA program. The program would recruit undergrads from across the nation and possibly shave at least two years off their normal timeline for the degree.

According to excerpts from the story:

In what would represent a major expansion and elevation of the program, Grand Valley State University is planning for a full-time MBA that could launch within two years. Faculty are presently examining the elements of a full-time MBA that would initially enroll up to 30 students per year, recruit nationally and target students coming directly from their undergraduates studies.

Students could earn an MBA in two years or less, as opposed to the four years or so it takes going that part-time route. "It's a whole other direction in which we're moving," GVSU Seidman College of Business Dean James Williams said. "We think it's the right time."
