University of Illinois’ Gies College of Business iMBA

The University of Illinois Gies College of Business launched its online iMBA in 2016. The program is engaging, affordable, and flexible, formatted in a face-to-face-style digital classroom with leadership, communication, and critical thinking at the core of the program. The iMBA has no travel requirements, allows for engagement with senior professionals, and gives students career-advancing leadership skills. 

The Gies iMBA has seen more than 4,000 through to graduation from over 78 countries, bringing global perspectives into the virtual classroom. Students in the program average 11 years of work experience and many hold high-level positions in their companies. Students will get the opportunity to learn alongside CEOs, lawyers, doctors, small business owners, and aspiring professionals from all walks of life. 

Courses are eight weeks long, and there is a flexible window for degree completion. Students must complete 72 credit hours in the timeframe of 24 to 36 months to earn their degree. To apply, prospective students must submit an essay and are not required to submit GMAT or GRE scores. 

A typical week within an eight-week course includes attending a live class with the professor having live discussions and problem solving, completing a team or individual project, and finishing an on-demand module. Students can also choose from five specializations in Digital Marketing, Entrepreneurship & Strategic Innovation, Global Challenges in Business, Business Analytics, and Mergers and Acquisitions (coming soon).
