Most European MBA programs are about 12 to 15 months. And it looks like British undergraduate students will now be able to get an Honors (Bachelors) Degree in 2 years. They’ll still have to do the same course work as the 3 year programs; they’ll just have greater flexibility in when they can take their course work to get it done. Personally, I think that’s a good think. Particularly when you factor in the increasing cost of financing a university education. Maybe now schools will stop being so academic and actually educate and better train young people for jobs in the real world.
