Why Earn an MBA Degree at King University?

Unlike many other programs, King University’s MBA gives you more than just a degree. Providing valuable field experiences and personalized learning, our program sets you up for roles as a successful well-rounded leader. With an emphasis on students’ career and personal development, our MBA program gives you a transformative educational experience.

Small Class Sizes

King University’s MBA program limits class sizes to 20 or 25 students at most in order to provide an engaging and in-depth experience. This enables faculty members to get to know students’ individual needs and it allows students to receive more personalized instruction from our renowned faculty. With a low student-to-faculty ratio, our MBA courses nurture more meaningful participation and better communication.

Experiential Learning

At King University, we not only teach students theoretical knowledge but also provide them opportunities to obtain real-world business experiences. Utilizing case studies and team projects, our MBA courses focus on the application of business and management knowledge to real-life situations. Working with partner companies, our MBA program allows students to perform research and solve business problems in teams for real companies. In addition, students have corporate visits and internship opportunities that allow them to take an in-depth look at business operations.

Through one-on-one meetings, phone calls, and email communications, they listen to students’ needs and guide them on the path to success.

MBA Program Options

Knowing that many of our students come from different backgrounds with a range of work experience, we offer two MBA program options for students to choose from based on their individual situations. Both options offer rigorous coursework, the same valuable MBA degree, and the same exceptional quality of education.

Full-time Accelerated One Year Daytime MBA

Our traditional Daytime MBA is a cohort-based, 12-month accelerated program. With classes held on weekdays, the program requires students’ full-time commitment to the coursework. It is ideal for those who want to complete the degree in a concentrated time period. Students gain a solid foundation in core business areas such as accounting, finance, economics, statistics, marketing, and strategy. Explore the highlights of the Daytime MBA to see if it is right for you:

  • No previous work experience is required to enter the program.
  • Students start the program in the fall.
  • The program integrates theory and academic content with personal internship experience.
