Join the 2028 cohort! 

The Distance Learning Executive MBA degree is a 48 graduate credit hours program and is designed to be completed in 22 months in a cohort structure. The course will be introduced with an intensive resident week module at an off site location to encourage in-person engagement amongst cohort members. The highly interactive, hybrid program immerses students in their courses and blends business theory with practical applications.

The program's format offers an built-in learning and networking community with the flexibility of distance learning. Its design allows students on the neighbor islands and the continental U.S. to pursue a graduate degree while continuing to live and work in their place of residence.

Distance Learning Technology

The Distance Learning Executive MBA program employs the latest technology in video conferencing software to transmit video and audio through the Internet. This will provide live interaction among students in multiple sites simultaneously.

The Distance Learning Executive MBA classes are highly interactive and are broadcast in real time so that all students will receive instruction and can interact with instructors and peers synchronously. Similar to a real class setting, students will be able to ask questions, offer comments, conduct project presentations and participate in other dialogue in real time.
