Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to complete Crown's online MBA?

Crown’s online MBA is a 36-credit program that can be completed in as little as 12 months. Courses run in focused eight-week terms, and the schedule is built to be flexible for working professionals balancing career, school, and life.

Is Crown's MBA fully online?

Yes. The MBA is a 100% online program, with no required campus visits. Coursework is delivered through Crown’s online platform and designed so working professionals can study on their own schedule while staying connected to faculty and peers.

What makes Crown's MBA different from a typical MBA?

Crown’s refreshed MBA is built on three pillars that don’t usually appear together. It’s faith-centered, with a biblical framework guiding the curriculum from the first course through the capstone. It’s digitally informed, with new and revised courses in data strategy, analytics, AI, and digital fluency. And it’s discipline-integrated, centering on the intersection of business, data, and technology rather than treating them as separate tracks. Most faith-based MBAs don’t lead with analytics and emerging technology, and most tech-forward MBAs aren’t grounded in a Christian worldview.

What can you do with an MBA from Crown?

The degree prepares graduates for business leadership and management roles such as management consultant, supply chain manager, and corporate finance analyst. An MBA is associated with strong earning potential and can also serve as a foundation for doctoral study, including the Doctor of Business Administration, Doctor of Strategic Leadership, and Ph.D. in Management.

Who is Crown's online MBA designed for?

The program is designed especially for working professionals who need to balance career, school, and life. Its flexible, fully online format and 12-month completion option make it well-suited to adults looking to advance into leadership, change careers, or strengthen their business credentials without pausing their jobs.
