It is very realistic. Almost all of our graduate students are working adults. Our students find that they can fullfil the requirements of the program if they develop good time-management skills and effective work habits. You may wish to take only one or two courses per quarter, especially if your job demands are intense. You are free to continually fine-tune this balance as you decide your academic workload each quarter.

The Antioch University graduate program in organizational management is an alternative degree to the MBA degree, with a management rather than a general business curriculum. The Antioch University master's degree program focuses on working with and through people to accomplish organizational goals.

We develop executives, managers and individual contributors who create organizational clarity of direction, so that all key constituents know what is expected and what to expect; and move their organizations to a high performance model because they provide leadership, build effective teams, and have a comprehensive systems view of their business environment.
