Every summer, the BSchools.org team updates school profiles like this one to provide a current, up to date list of schools offering online MBA programs for the upcoming academic year.

We collect the school and program data ourselves, then review the profiles for accuracy, and then send them off for final review by the school.

When the school’s representative provides feedback, we make any necessary updates and mark the profile as “Reviewed by School”.

We collect and validate the same data for every school in our database, regardless of whether or not the school is an advertiser (sponsor). Click any “sponsor” link to learn more.

Norwich University, located in Northfield, Vermont, offers an online MBA with a general track or one of ten concentrations: critical infrastructure protection and cybercrime, cyber law, energy management, international business, project management, construction management, finance, organizational leadership, supply chain management, and technology management. The one course at a time format allows students to really focus and dig deep in a particular course and apply their learning to subsequent courses.

Anyone with a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and two years of professional work experience may apply. The program is designed for professionals wishing to move into leadership positions in business organizations or as entrepreneurs in the business world. Graduates of the online MBA program may be prepared for roles such as account executive, director of finance, chief executive officer, operations manager, supply chain manager, and more.

Norwich University, located in Northfield, Vermont, is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). Norwich University’s MBA programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

Admission Requirements: Applicants must have a BS with a GPA of 2.75 or higher from an accredited institution in the US, or an equivalent degree evaluated by WES, CED, IERF, or SpanTran if earned outside the US. Two years of professional work experience is required for admission. No GMAT/GRE is required. Applicants must submit an application, resume, official transcripts, a letter of intent, one letter of recommendation, and proof of English language proficiency if needed. Demonstration of English language proficiency is often required of international students.

Study Plan: The six courses for the online MBA last 11 weeks each. Start dates are offered in March, June, September, December.

For all concentrations (not the general MBA) students are required to complete an independent research project by the end of the final course.

All students must also take a comprehensive MBA exam during the final course. The program ends with an on-campus residency at Norwich University that includes learning, networking, awards, and commencement. Students of the following concentrations must also complete an independent research project: construction management, energy management, finance, organizational leadership, project management, supply chain management and logistics, and technology management.

This is required of students of the following concentrations: construction management, energy management, finance, organizational leadership, project management, supply chain management and logistics, and technology management.

An IRP begins in the fourth course, is completed in three phases, and ends in the sixth (last) course. Students receive guidance for completing each phase of the IRP in the first week of each of the three concentration courses that make up the full IRP requirement.
