Earn Your MBA Your Way: Flexible Learning Options in Austin and Online

March 12, 2025

Choosing the right MBA program is about more than just rankings—it’s about finding the right fit for your lifestyle, career goals, and learning preferences. Some students thrive in face-to-face learning environments, while others need the flexibility of an online format to balance work, family, and education.

At Concordia University Texas, we provide both on-ground and online MBA options, so you can earn your degree your way without compromising on quality. Whether you’re looking for in-person networking in Austin, Texas, or a convenient online format, Concordia Texas gives you the freedom to choose the learning experience that fits your needs.

According to MBA graduate Hang Mai, Concordia Texas exceeded her expectations: 

"During my time at Concordia University Texas, the unwavering support from my professors played a significant role in my academic success. One of the most memorable experiences was my capstone project, where my team and I collaborated with a Chick-fil-A franchise owner. We applied the knowledge we gained throughout our program to address real-world challenges. With Dr. Guerrero’s guidance, we successfully completed the project, which enriched my learning and enhanced my professional growth by bridging theory and practice."

Why Earn an MBA in Austin, Texas?

Austin is one of the fastest-growing business hubs in the U.S. With a booming tech scene, Fortune 500 companies, and a strong entrepreneurial community, earning an MBA in Austin provides unique career advantages:

  • Direct access to top employers like Dell, Tesla, Apple, and Oracle, making it easier to network and secure high-level job opportunities.
  • A thriving startup ecosystem with networking events, venture capital firms, and incubators that support entrepreneurs and innovators.
  • Austin’s strong business community allows MBA students to participate in live case studies, industry panels, and mentorship opportunities that connect classroom learning to real-world business challenges.
