Program Objective: The main purpose of Calwest University is to provide affordable high-quality American degrees to students living in all parts of the world who deserve a quality education, but were, until recently, unable to obtain such due to both costs and the tyranny of distance. Calwest proposes to provide a framework for the sequence of courses to be delivered and assessed by the university, so that students can work towards attaining a recognized degree at a substantially lower cost than that usually associated with such quality online degree programs. Calwest will also recognize for credit the high-quality education available externally to students provided the assessment of such course have been appropriately proctored.

The Master of Business Administration program’s objective is to provide holders of non-business degrees, an opportunity for a career change into general management, by providing an industry responsive program relevant to both students and the future needs of employers. Students cover the areas of business administration, accounting, finance and marketing; and many specialist electives.

Program Description: The program is geared for graduate level studies in Business Administration. Students must successfully complete 12 courses from the list below to be eligible to be awarded their graduate degree. The ‘value’ courses are compulsory and must be undertaken only via Tubeclasses at Calwest. The balance of Calwest courses in the program may be undertaken by (1) undertaking the balance courses also via Tubeclasses; (2) undertaking approved courses proctored externally; (3) obtaining credit for recognized prior learning; and (4) challenge examinations assessed internally by Calwest University professors. The course consists of 36 credit hours.

Program Start Date (MBA): The MBA Tubeclasses courses can be started at any time once you enroll in the degree program. You work at your own pace. The method of assessment is via online exams or via an assignment at the end of each course.

Minimum and Maximum Time Requirements (MBA):: An MBA degree will be awarded by Calwest University upon the successful completion of 12 Courses (36 Credit points). This is expected to take 2 years (full time) and 4 years (part time) after start date.

Final Assessment on Completion of All Courses (MBA): Once you have completed all the topics in the course, you will be given access to a Written Assignment or a Final Online Exam. The Online Final Exam is a composite of all the topic assessment questions. You will be allowed only One Attempt at the final exam. The final exam is 90-minutes in duration. After 90-minutes, whatever you have attempted will be submitted automatically to Calwest for assessment, and you will get your final grade soon after (within 24-hours).
