MicroMasters® Program to MBA and EMBA

The MicroMasters® Program offers a flexible pathway to earning an MBA or EMBA at ASB through credit transfer. By successfully completing seven (7) designated MicroMasters® courses, learners may transfer credits toward the MBA or EMBA program. Depending on the pathway, this enables them to:

  • Complete the full-time MBA program in 6 to 8 months instead of 12 months.
  • Complete the part-time EMBA program in 12 months instead of 16 months.

To enroll in either program with credit transfer, learners must go through the standard admissions process and meet ASB’s academic entry requirements for the MBA or EMBA.

Alternatively, learners who choose the traditional route can still transfer one or more ACE credits to the MBA or EMBA programs. This allows them to receive course exemptions while completing the program in the standard timeframe, offering additional flexibility in their MBA or EMBA journey.
