Why Take a One-Credit Course?

Focused and Timely Topics

One-credit courses are laser focused on a particular subject matter that will support current and future job needs. The DeSales roster of one-credit courses support nearly all MBA concentration areas.

Accelerated Pace

Keep it moving. In a matter of 2–3 weeks, attendees can complete a credit. Degree-seeking individuals will move toward their “finish line” at a quicker pace.

Flexible

Classes can be a combination of live instruction, online, or flex, which combines the best of both. Most are scheduled over a few weekends.

Affordable

At one-third the credit load, these classes are also one-third the cost. That makes them ideal for students who may not have enough remaining in an annual tuition assistance plan to cover the $880 cost of a full three-credit course. Moreover, DeSales MBA alumni receive a 20 percent discount on classes.
