ExcelTrack® MBA Overview
Obtain the expertise to become a more effective business leader and develop the management, strategic, and critical thinking skills you need to take on challenging, high-level roles in competitive business environments. ExcelTrack® is personalized, online competency-based education that allows you to earn the same high-quality master's degree as a standard online Purdue Global program—only faster and for less money.*
Designed for highly disciplined, self-motivated learners with strong professional knowledge, ExcelTrack® is centered on real-world career experiences and builds on the skills and knowledge you’ve already mastered.
Once enrolled, you take a series of assessments to demonstrate what you already know and move quickly past those topics. That way, you’ll focus on developing the skills that are immediately applicable to challenges in the business world. A faculty member will work with you to ensure you’re on track to successfully complete each course.
Flexibility
With our ExcelTrack® online MBA, you can speed up or slow down as much as you want, based on your schedule and personal learning path. You are evaluated by how well you demonstrate competencies, not by how long it takes to learn them.
Focused Learning
Each ExcelTrack® course is a single credit, covering a particular skill or piece of knowledge. You advance based on what you already know, and spend time only on what you need to learn.
Savings
You can take as many one-credit classes as you want every term for a flat rate, excluding fees. Taking more credits per term lowers the average cost per credit.
