Our online format combines the convenience of virtual classes with two week-long residencies in D.C. at the start of your first and second years. These residencies will allow you to interact with classmates and professors, reinforcing the tight-knit, collaborative Georgetown community for which our MBA experience is known.
In both programs, you’ll participate in our required signature in-person week-long global business consulting experience at the end of the second year.

Flex MBA Online Program Features
Access to the MBA Career Center
For those seeking career services, the Georgetown Flex MBA Online program provides access to the Georgetown McDonough MBA Career Center. Students have access to MBA career coaches in a virtual environment where they can receive assistance in enhancing their resume and cover letters, preparing for interviews, and negotiating offers.
Students will have access to virtual MBA Career Center programming. Students in their final year of study have access to post-MBA job postings and virtual employer activities. If students reside in the D.C. vicinity, students may attend on campus employer events.
Integration Into Community and Student Experience
Flex MBA Online students will have the opportunity to participate in select student organizations, community service, and other community events offered in a hybrid or online format throughout the year. Should they choose to come to campus, they will also have access to a wide range of in-person co-curricular events.
Engaging Virtual Experience
Unlike some online programs where the course content is completely asynchronous, Georgetown McDonough believes in synchronous learning, where you can engage with your professors and peers in live course sessions, contributing to a rich educational experience.
Our MBA professors have been intentional about the design of this program, incorporating a mix of synchronous and asynchronous course content that is best suited to the various classes and course topics to maximize your learning. Some courses will be half synchronous and half asynchronous allowing both flexibility and a rich learning experience. Where we feel the course content is best delivered in a completely synchronous environment, we will offer the course in this modality.
Class Schedule and Curriculum
All courses, with the exception of in-person residencies and optional Intensive Learning Experiences, are held Monday through Thursday during the 6:30-9:20 p.m. ET time window. For courses that include a mix of synchronous and asynchronous classes, the synchronous component of class will either be the first half (6:30-7:50 p.m. ET) or second half (8-9:20 p.m. ET) of this time window.
Please note that the Flex MBA Online (FXO) program is strictly for students who reside in the United States, including international applicants who have permanent residency or already reside in the United States on a visa (this program does not sponsor F-1 visas). If you are admitted and enroll in FXO, you are expected to attend classes online according to Eastern Time from any time zone within the United States.
