What does life look like on the other side of an MBA?

For many Wake Forest University grads, the answer is: radically different. New job opportunities, six-figure salaries, coast-to-coast career options, and more freedom in where they live, how they work, and what they say ā€œyesā€ to.

Staggering stat: The average annual income of a WFU MBA grad is more than $150,000.

Two years invested, decades of returns

This life-changing transformation doesn’t take a lifetime, either — it can happen in as few as 20 months through Wake Forest’s nationally ranked, highly flexible MBA program.

Choose the format that fits your schedule:

  • In-person MBA: Collaborative evening classes in Charlotte or Winston-Salem
  • Hybrid MBA: Online coursework paired with select in-person Saturday sessions
  • Online MBA: A fully online experience that lets students study from virtually anywhere

...And start leveling up your career without stepping back from your current 9-to-5.
