People are not always able to attend classes in person for many reasons, including working full-time, family obligations, distance, or travel needs. Therefore, Louisiana Tech has provided a flexible and convenient 100% online MBA program. There is also a hybrid MBA option where students split time between online coursework and on-campus sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
