Accelerated MBA
The UTEP MBA Program will launch a Spring 2010 Accelerated MBA (AMBA)—a fast-track, cohort style MBA option that combines quality, convenience, and
affordability for the region’s working professionals. Through the AMBA,
students can complete their UTEP MBA degree in just two years by attending class
twice a week at an easily accessible off-campus location.

real-world applications. A heavy emphasis is placed on team learning through study groups that meet outside of class time.
