Georgia MBA Programs

University of Georgia

• A public research university located in Athens, Georgia, the University of Georgia is the oldest and largest institution of higher learning in the state. The MBA program of its business school--the C. Herman and Mary Virginia Terry College of Business--is perennially ranked as one of the 50 best in the nation in publications such as "U.S. News & World Report" and "BusinessWeek." The two-year program has five specialties: Finance, Real Estate, Market & Consumer Management, Entrepreneurship and Operations Management. The program also has a Fast Track option for working professionals and an 18-month Executive MBA program for business executives.

Emory University

• As a private research university in Atlanta, Emory University has a traditional, two-year MBA program that includes a summer internship and dual degree possibilities. Applicants who already possess strong business or economics backgrounds--or at least are much clearer about their career goals--would be better suited for the stripped-down, accelerated one-year option. Although Emory, like the University of Georgia, has the Executive MBA program, it is estimated to take 3 months longer to finish.

• A private, historically black university in Atlanta, Clark Atlanta University encourages MBA applicants to have at least two years of working experience. Requiring at least 60 credits for completion, CAU's MBA program also has a "working professional" option for those who wish to take classes part-time while maintaining their day jobs.
