If you've been thinking about earning your MBA but haven't taken the time yet to find answers to your own questions, we've listed the answers right here for you. And, when you're ready to start the application process or take the GMAT, we invite you to attend an upcoming Information Session.
Is North Georgia accredited?
Yes. North Georgia College and State University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). The Mike Cottrell School of Business is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Less than 10% of the world's business schools receive this elite designation, so your MBA will be valued across the globe.
Where can I take the GMAT or GRE?
There are several testing centers in the metro Atlanta area. Tests are also given periodically on North Georgia's main campus. For more information, please visit mba.com for information on the GMAT and takethegre.com for information on the GRE.
What’s a cohort?
In this context, a cohort is a group of students who go through the MBA program simultaneously. They begin together, progress through the courses together and graduate together.
The cohort model makes it possible for the University to provide rich, comprehensive, high-quality academic experiences for specialized programs with small enrollments. Most important, it enhances the educational experience, as students form strong relationships, share professional challenges and bring diverse talents and strengths to the group.
Why does this program focus on team-based learning?
Businesses rely on employee teams to create solutions and accomplish goals, so our MBA program focuses on preparing employees to succeed in team environments.
Teamwork and team projects are integral to the curriculum, especially for the intensive Capstone Leadership Experience that begins about half-way through the degree program. The team components of the program are facilitated by in-person meetings and structured team-building sessions, as well as various communication technologies such as web conferencing, wikis, and blogs.
How long is the program?
The program is designed to be completed in 5 semesters, or 20 months. However, you have the flexibility to take fewer courses (or none at all) during the first summer. If you choose that option, you will complete the program in 6 semesters.
What does North Georgia’s MBA program cost?
Our program is quite affordable for working professionals. Depending on the courses you take and your decision to study abroad, the average cost of our 20-month program is about $20,000.
Is financial aid available for MBA students?
Yes. We offer merit-based scholarships and information on other options for funding your graduate education is available through the Office of Financial Aid.
