FEMBA can be completed in as few as 27 months by accelerating elective study. If accelerating, the earliest graduation date is the end of Fall Quarter of the third year. Students may accelerate by taking three elective courses per quarter, or block electives. Billing is also accelerated accordingly, but the total cost for the FEMBA program is the same for all members of each entering year.
Maximum acceleration would allow for the program to complete in 27 months.
