Academic Calendar
The Sofaer Global MBA begins every year in October and runs for 10-15 months. The program can be completed within two semesters, but many students elect to take part in the Dean's Courses over the summer or in an additional study abroad semester the following fall.
In Israel, the workweek is Sunday-Thursday, and our courses follow this schedule. Additional opportunities may be offered on Friday mornings.
