FAQs

Is this MBA accredited?

Yes! Eastern University's College of Business and Leadership programs are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP.) 

How can a program this inexpensive provide an outstanding education?

Our innovative self-paced, flexible design allows us to provide a high-quality education at a fraction of the price of most other programs. Instead of professors lecturing at set times, setting due dates, requiring you to learn exclusively from their materials, or requiring you to be in a cohort, our expert faculty have created online, video-based coursework suited to your learning styles.  This maximizes flexibility to learn as a part of your busy work, family, and personal life, and lessens the need for expensive faculty input.

Founded in 1925, we have a long legacy of providing high-quality academic programs, rooted in our core values of faith, reason, and justice. Our goal with the LifeFlex model is to provide students with affordable, convenient programs that fit into their busy lives and empower them to reach their career goals.

What is the LifeFlex Approach? 

This innovative, self-paced, 100% online format allows students to complete their coursework at the pace that works for their schedule. Within each 7-week period, you can move as quickly as you’d like. You can also choose whether you want to take one or two courses per 7-week term; and you are welcome to take terms off from classes to allow for professional and personal responsibilities.

What does "self-paced" mean?

Within the parameters of our 7-week course structure, students can complete the assignments at their own pace. There are no specific "log in" times, which maximizes flexibility for you to work around your schedule. All assignments must be completed by the end of the 7-week session. In select classes, due dates are implemented to provide the course instructor with adequate time to grade assignments.

Are there opportunities for networking?

Yes! Students can connect with other professionals, both students and faculty, through networking events, in-class forums, office hours, and our College of Business and Leadership LinkedIn. 

How does this program prepare students to be ethical, morally-grounded practitioners?

Our program reflects on the critical, moral, philosophical, and spiritual values often overlooked in MBA programs, and students are prepared for a life of meaningful leadership and reflective learning. Faith integration offers students an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of themselves, their relationships, their vocation, their community, and society at large.

Note: While Eastern University is rooted in Christian faith, we welcome all students to enroll in our programs! No faith background is needed to apply or to be successful in this program.
