(Bloomberg Businessweek) -- In a hurry to get your MBA? Some business schools allow students to earn a degree in a year or less—about half the time of a traditional U.S. program. (One-year programs are already popular in Europe.) People who’ve raced through the accelerated programs say they require intense focus and don’t allow time for extras such as internships, but they can be ideal if speed is your thing.
