About

In general, a Mini-MBA program is a graduate-level business program offered through online and campus-based colleges, universities and business schools. It is an alternative to a traditional MBA degree program. A Mini-MBA program does not result in a degree. Graduates receive professional credentials usually in the form of a certificate. Some programs do award continuing education credits (CEUs).
