Applicants to the GOAL M.B.A. program must have a minimum of four years’ managerial experience to be considered. The GOAL M.B.A. program offers busy managers a fast-track format in which to obtain their M.B.A. in 17 months. The program provides a balanced, diverse, and global orientation to business education. It emphasizes leadership, team building, analysis, and problem solving.

The GOAL M.B.A. requires 14 courses (42 credits), taken as 2 courses per term of eight weeks, over seven terms. A cohort format is used for the entire program. Courses are held on Saturdays only, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., on the Garden City campus. The first two Saturdays of the program are orientation modules covering accounting, computer applications, economics, environmental/organizational factors, marketing, and quantitative methods.

There will be at least eight hours of online instructional activities per course in addition to the in-class instruction (as per program registration with NYSED in 2001).
