MBA stands for Masters of Business Administration. It's a post graduate degree that originated in the United States in the late 19th century. The program is designed to introduce students areas of business such as marketing, accounting, human resources, etc. Some school programs all students to select single or several areas of concentration. When doing so, a student will have approximately one third of their course load on that particular subject.

There are several type of MBA programs available. The two year program typically takes two years to complete, the semesters starting in late August and ending in May. Accelerated MBA is similar to the two year program without the break between May and August and more intensive coursework. Part time MBA programs offer classes in the evenings and weekends. Typically the program will take three years to complete. The executive MBA program allows working professionals to earn their degree in two years and continue to work full time. Another program is the distance learning programs held online.
