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.

The Queens University of Charlotte McColl School of Business offers a flexible online MBA program patterned after Hugh McColl’s three C’s of leadership: competence, character, and commitment to community. The MBA can be earned online, on campus, or with a combination of the two, making it a flexible MBA.

The online MBA program features eight concentrations that can be completed in 11 to 20 months. Concentrations are offered in leadership and change, healthcare administration, finance, executive coaching, global business management, inclusion and engagement management, entrepreneurship, and quantitative methods of business.

The flexible, online MBA fosters quality leadership skills through one-on-one sessions with an executive coach in which student and coach create personalized plans to meet professional and personal goals. Other avenues that foster leadership skills include a lecture series from business leaders, an immersive leadership challenge, and a leadership development course. In addition, the McColl School of Business focuses on experiential learning through case studies and consulting projects.

The online MBA follows a team-based learning approach where groups of five to six students are formed at the first campus immersion and stay together for the duration of the program. This creates a collaborative online learning environment, develops relationships, and helps students contribute unique perspectives to other students.

Queens University is located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The university is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). The Queens University of Charlotte McColl School of Business is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International).

A GMAT/GRE waiver is available to those with at least seven years of full-time relevant work experience, three years of work experience with a GPA of 3.0 or above, or who meet other requirements. Prospective students must also complete an admission interview. No work experience is required; however, three years of experience is preferred. Those without a business background may need to take foundational classes before beginning the core MBA courses.

International students must submit TOEFL, IELTS, or ELS test scores; a course-by-course evaluation of transcripts; and official documentation of proof of sufficient funds to pay for their education.

Study Plan: The Queens University online MBA can be completed in about two years. Students can begin the program in January, May, or August. The online program semesters are divided into two eight-week sessions. Students participate in two weekend campus immersions at the beginning and middle of the program. Students can typically complete their degree program within 11 to 20 months.

MBA Curriculum: The flexible online MBA consists of 36 credits: 21 credits of core courses, nine credits of flexible courses, and six credits of electives. Students may choose to earn nine credits of electives to earn an MBA concentration.

Online Experience: Queens University uses an online learning management system called MyCourses. This state-of-the-art program offers shared blogging, web conferencing for live collaboration, IM, social media tools, community tools, and easy access to assignments on mobile devices. In addition, students can view course syllabi, assignments, required readings, post in discussion groups and group assignments, and interact with peers on the virtual course wall. Students will need a high-speed internet connection, a current operating system and browser, webcam, microphone, and Microsoft Office Suite. Online students have access to 24/7 technical support, an academic advisor, an executive coach for one-on-one coaching throughout the program, an alumni mentor for career counseling, and faculty support.

On-Site Requirements: There are two on-campus residencies required to complete the program, lasting from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon. The first residency falls at the beginning of the program, and students will decipher their main leadership style and create their peer teams. This team-based learning approach contributes to student success in the online program. The second residency is halfway through the program and builds on the first residency. In both residencies, students observe guest speakers, explore leadership strengths and weaknesses, and network with faculty, peers, mentors, and coaches. The purpose of the residencies is to convey the difference between managers and leaders and how to navigate both roles in the business world.
