There are many MBA programs offered throughout the U.S. However, these programs require a lengthy application process and take from one to two years to complete. For executives that are seeking training or "recycling" in a specific area for a short period of time, other options exist. There are a variety of thematic courses available throughout the year at various universities and many executive education departments will also design custom courses and curricula according to a company or individual's needs.
