Earning your MBA is often credited as a career move — one that increases earning potential by up to 70%.

But it’s also a life investment.

Why? Because the value of a better career doesn’t stop at your paycheck.

More prestigious positions also mean more perks, like remote work opportunities, added flexibility, and, at those rare companies you always hear about, unlimited PTO.

In short, more time for what matters most: Life outside work.

📈 Learn while you earn

Finding time for grad school can be tough — that’s why Wake Forest University’s award-winning MBA program is designed specifically for working professionals who want to level up their careers without hitting pause.

With a variety of learning formats, including:

  • In-person MBA: Structured evening classes in Charlotte or Winston-Salem.
  • Hybrid MBA: Flexible online coursework paired with in-person Saturday sessions.
  • Online MBA: A fully online experience that lets you study from anywhere.

Wake Forest lets you tailor the program to fit your life. In as little as 20 months, you can graduate with in-demand skills, a powerful alumni network, and a new path forward.
