M.B.A.

Business leaders agree that an M.B.A. is the gold standard in business education. As an M.B.A. student at Thiel, you’ll learn how to collaborate, you’ll explore different industries and opportunities, and you’ll acquire skills it can take years to learn on the job. Choose between our accelerated 11 month M.B.A. program or attend part-time over the course of 24 months and learn by doing as you work alongside with faculty who have real world experience from outside of the classroom. Either way, our robust graduate assistantships and internships provides the flexibility to work in real business settings to solve real problems as part of the required coursework.
