Binghamton University is now one of the only institutions in the United States offering this type of program option, providing students without a business background an incomparable value of time and money. To participate in this option, candidates must have taken college coursework in microeconomics and statistics, or online coursework offered in these areas by Binghamton University prior to starting the MBA program. The One-Year MBA option has a mandatory, on-campus summer session spanning from early June to early August. If you are not available during that time, you would not be eligible for this program. The four-semester MBA option, however, follows a traditional academic year and only requires you to be on-campus during the fall and spring semesters.
