Three types of courses

• Global residencies: Join students from all the OneMBA partner schools for four weeklong global residencies held on four continents.
• Global core courses: Five core courses are taught simultaneously at the five OneMBA universities. Each course includes a major project that requires working remotely with your global team from the partner schools.
• UNC’s regional courses: We round out the curriculum with ten of the best, globally oriented courses from UNC’s Weekend and Evening Programs. These regional courses have been proven to accelerate career success for UNC MBA graduates.

How you will learn

• Active classroom participation: We engage students in lively classroom discussions to take advantage of their extensive business experience. You will learn as much from your classmates as from the professors.

Your global team will meet during global residencies. Between residencies, the team works remotely using email, conference calls, and web-based conference tools.

Electives after graduation

You can keep your MBA current by taking elective courses offered in Chapel Hill through UNC’s Weekend MBA and Evening MBA Programs for a nominal fee.
