Accelerate Your Success with our Graduate Plus Program

William Woods students focused on business and leadership can take advantage of our Plus One program to begin earning their master's degree while a bachelor's degree student. Many are able to do so with only one additional year of study. This saves time and money; Plus One offers an approximately 40% savings compared to the cost of a typical graduate degree.

The School of Business and Technology offers three degrees that are ideal for Plus One Business students: a Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership (MAOL) and Master of Health Administration (MHA).
