Start an Online MBA and be the one everyone salutes

A practical MBA with a purpose 

Our 42-credit Online MBA complements your military expertise and helps you forge a new path in the private sector.

The business skills and practices employers demand most are at the heart of our 21-month online MBA: innovation, finance, leadership, data analytics and better world topics like sustainability. 

Mastering these five areas will provide insights you can use the very next day, plus prepare you for what's next in business and your career.

A leading expert within reach

If education is the exchange of ideas through people, who you learn from matters. Our faculty are award-winning researchers and top scholars in their fields, and they bring relevant experience, knowledge and expertise into the classroom. 

In any MBA format from CSU’s College of Business, you’ll learn the same skills from the same world-class faculty as those learning on our Fort Collins, Colorado campus. 

A time-tested online student experience

CSU’s College of Business is a leader in online learning. While others may be just beginning to offer online courses and formats, we’ve mastered the technology to provide you with an immersive  experience that goes beyond PowerPoints and voice recordings.

Our in-house video production team captures faculty lectures and dynamic discussions to deliver on-demand recordings and live video experiences.

Our collaborative, 360-degree classroom includes 5 professional broadcast cameras and audio capture. You'll feel like you're in the room, whether at home or abroad.

A roadmap that fits your lifestyle

We know the demands of military life can make school complex, and the Online MBA offers the flexibility for your lifestyle now, and the options and support you need in the future.

To start, courses are available in 8-week schedules – bite-size learning you can handle. You choose from five annual start dates (January, March, May, August or October) and then set your schedule to graduate in 21 months or flex up to five years.

Dedicated CSU College of Business advisors will guide you to a schedule that fits and will support you along the way. 

A vast network and top MBA for veterans

The immersive student experience, flexibility, faculty expertise and dedicated support has earned the Online MBA from CSU's College of Business a top 25 ranking for veterans across public universities by U.S. News and World Report.

In our Online MBA, you'll do more than plug into an academic setting, you’ll become part of a community. Our faculty lectures and discussions are just as immersive and enriching online as in person – you're never alone.

Our dedicated Instructional Coordinators are available to answer questions, facilitate discussions with peers, connect you with faculty and reinforce your learning.

After graduation, you'll join a network of more than 35,000 faculty, students and alumni worldwide.

Our advisors can guide you through MBA credits that will also apply toward graduate certificates.

A high standard of excellence

Our College is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) – which is earned by less than five percent of the world's 16,000 business schools. Achieving and maintaining the accreditation for nearly our entire history is a testament to the long-standing quality of our institution.

Every five years, we submit an accountability report and are evaluated on the high standards of the accreditation including: our mission, student outcomes, strategic management, innovation, staff and student support, societal impact, thought leadership, and faculty's teaching and research.
