Flexibility and value
In addition to affordable tuition, Barton School
MBA courses are offered in the evening, so busy
adults can earn their MBA without giving up
their day jobs. A bachelor’s degree in business
is not required for admission, and there is no
thesis or comprehensive exam requirement.
Our relationship with the Berlin School
of Economics in Germany gives Barton
MBA students valuable international
experience. The two programs form
virtual teams and work on businessbased projects-—and our students travel
to Germany for a week at the beginning
of the semester.
