Questions:

1. Is this distance learning degree any different from the one that is earned on-campus at The George Washington University?
   No. You will receive the same MBA degree and your diploma is the same as the one earned by an on-campus student.
   
   
2. How is the program accredited?
   The George Washington University is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, the regional accrediting body recognized by the US Department of Education and The Council on Post-Secondary Education. State agencies and reputable academic institutions recognize degrees only from regionally accredited institutions when considering someone for employment, a teaching position, or further academic study. These programs also meet the tuition reimbursement standards of most agencies. Finally, The George Washington University's School of Business is fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International).
   
   
3. How long is the program?
   This is a lockstep program completed in two years. There are 12 seven-week course modules and two year-long interdisciplinary projects.
   
   
4. How many credits and courses do I take each semester?
   You will enroll in two courses per semester. Each course is worth between two and four credits. In addition to the courses, at the start of each year, you will also begin an interdisciplinary project which is to be completed by the end of the year.
   
   
5. How much does the program cost?
   The current tuition rate is $1,150 per credit and the program is 48 credit hours in total. Tuition rates are subject to change.
   
   
6. When do I start the program?
   You may enter the program three times per year during any semester—fall, spring or summer.
   
   
7. How much time is required in this program?
   This program is designed for the working professional who must keep up with the demands of work and home. Most students require 15-20 hours of study per week.
