Are there any reputable 1 year full time MBA programs? I’ve got my CPA, would have 7 years of various financial services/ops experience and would like to get into an M7 but i don’t want to spend time doing the mandatory core classes like financial reporting/accounting when my time could be better used.

Columbia has their J-term MBA program which is a year and a half. Kellogg has a 1 year FT MBA. Could be more but these are the ones that come top to mind this morning.

like

INSEAD is probably the best 1 year programme in the world. Indeed it has been rated the best MBA in the world a few times.

like

Fuqua also has a 1 year MBA, but you need an MiM. If you’re also considering international programs, there’s Insead as well.

Before diving into these, can you explain why you want an MBA and why a 1-year program?

As a rule, a school’s 1-year program reputation is tied to its full-time MBA program/b school and parent university. You can very easily search schools to see each program.

Very few M7s have part-time, let alone 1-year programs, and 1-year programs with minimal core. SA1 already mentioned these.
Most European programs are 12-18 months and worth considering if you essentially just want the prestige of a school (Insead, LBS, Saïd, Judge. Not sure about HEC Paris, SDA bocconi but you can google).

You’re too junior to look at EMBA, but maybe should also consider weekend/evening/part-time (if you haven’t explored it already) if you care less about career pivots, the internship, and networking anyway. Especially Booth part-time/weekend, which has fewer course requirements.

Good point thanks. I haven’t spent a lot of time on the ones that test out.

US - Columbia J Term, Kellogg 1 year FT MBA.

Kellogg

What’s the point of a one year mba that’s different from part time? If using an MBA to pivot and explore another field a two year program is better suited since you have an internship

Do internships count towards years of experience?

When asked how many years of experience I have, how should I answer?
