Distance Education MBA Courses

Distance education degrees are on the rise, especially among American universities that offer a master's degree in business administration. Many students are pursuing an MBA through distance education because of the demands of today's business world coupled with the demands of family life. Distance education degrees are generally offered in an online format and provide students with the flexibility to pursue a degree on their own schedule.

University of Houston-Victoria

The University of Houston offers a distance education MBA through its Victoria, Texas, campus. Students who take courses through the Victoria campus have the same rights and privileges of University of Houston students on the main campus in Houston. The university's Bauer School of Business is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and offers students a variety of options within the degree program. One option is the "Global MBA" program. Concentrations within the program include marketing, accounting, entrepreneurship, economic development, management, general business and finance.
