DEGREES
Syracuse University’s online business graduate programs feature the same curriculum content as the full-time, on-campus programs, and graduates earn the same Syracuse University diploma. In addition, if you are interested in combining our online degrees and earning two master’s degrees for fewer credits, visit our second master’s page to learn more.
Residencies
Structured like business conferences, residencies provide hands-on experiences featuring prominent speakers who host relevant discussions and interactive panels. Each three-day weekend residency offers students the opportunity to meet classmates and professors face-to-face for workshops and networking. Residencies are offered on-campus, in other U.S. cities, and internationally. Online MBA students attend three, in-person residencies throughout the course of their program and master's students are welcomed when the topics are relevant to their degree program.
