By Arvind Kumar

HEC Paris has unveiled an exciting new option for its MBA program, offering a 12-month format starting in January 2025. This accelerated program allows professionals to fast-track their MBA experience, making it a compelling choice for those eager to return to the workforce sooner.

Alongside this new format, the traditional 16-month MBA option remains available, catering to individuals who prefer a more extended period of study to explore internships and other career opportunities.

The two MBA formats now available are:

12-Month MBA Option:

  • Launching in January 2025
  • A condensed, intensive one-year program
  • Ideal for professionals aiming to re-enter the job market quickly
  • Includes 5 intensive electives for customized learning

Traditional 16-Month MBA:

  • HEC Paris’s established, comprehensive program
  • Provides more time for thorough study and exploration
  • Perfect for those desiring a richer MBA experience with opportunities to explore various career paths

Common Benefits Across Both Formats:

  • Access to the same distinguished faculty and curriculum
  • A choice of 7 specializations to personalize the MBA experience
  • Global networking opportunities and personalized career development
  • Entry into HEC Paris’s extensive alumni network, comprising over 80,000 members across 152 countries

Applications for the January 2025 intake are now open, offering prospective students the flexibility to choose the MBA format that best aligns with their professional goals.
