Professor Adam Shoemaker says Griffith continues to build its reputation as a highly competitive university.

Griffith University is taking online education to the next level, meeting the fast-changing needs of today’s student community.

A sophisticated online MBA program leads the way, the first of 12 new online programs to be rolled out during the next three years.

Griffith MBA students can now start their studies when and where they want and will be assigned their own adviser to support them from their initial enquiry and application through to graduation.

Academic Provost, Professor Adam Shoemaker, says the university’s increasingly innovative approach to how programs are delivered will meet new and emerging student expectations.

“Modern-day students expect their education in a mode that suits them,” he said.

“They also need an education that provides them with improved job prospects, ultimately leading to careers of distinction and influence.

“Griffith University aims to meet these demands on a domestic and international scale with high quality program initiatives, and the development of the Griffith MBA online program makes it an increasingly attractive degree in this context.”

The innovative, 100% online offering gives MBA students an unprecedented flexibility to manage their studies, and builds on the face-to-face intensive courses that have proved successful to date.

“Our fully flexible MBA which can be studied online, on campus or a combination of both has been very popular among students to date and will continue to be an option,” MBA Director, Associate Professor Nick Barter (below), said.

The accelerated learning mode now means students can complete a fast-tracked online MBA in two years, and with six intakes a year students can start almost immediately.

A collaborative and supportive digital learning environment incorporates the very latest in audio and visual interactive learning tools.

“We’re offering a 100% online program that’s ready when you are,” hesaid.

“Modern students want to quickly build knowledge, skills and their ability to progress full-time careers. Increasingly, they want to continue to work full-time while also studying full-time. This highly-flexible MBA degree means this ambition can be realised.

“We’ve tailored our MBA for those who know what they want and just want to go out and get it. It will get you where you need to be as efficiently as possible.”

Three core values – responsible leadership, sustainable business practice and global orientation – already set the Griffith MBA apart.

The Griffith MBA is ranked in Australia’s top 10 by the Australian Financial Review BOSS Magazine MBA survey.

Griffith Business School is among the top 2% of business schools in the world, according to the Academic Rankings of World Universities.

In addition Griffith University is rated in the top 4% of universities by Academic Rankings of World Universities and No. 38 in in the top 50 universities under 50 by QS Top Universities 2014/15.
