The W. P. Carey Online MBA at Arizona State University and the Warrington Online MBA at the University of Florida differ substantially in published cost, required credits, program length, curriculum structure, course format, and available pathways.
One of the most important differences is that UF offers two Online MBA formats rather than a single pathway.
ASU’s Online MBA requires 51 credits across 18 classes and has approximately $74,000 in estimated tuition and fees .
UF’s One-Year Online MBA requires 32 credits , takes approximately 16 months , and has a published total cost of approximately $49,255 . Its Two-Year Online MBA requires 48 credits , takes approximately 24 months , and has a published total cost of approximately $59,882 .
That puts both UF pathways below ASU’s current published cost, but cost alone does not determine which program is the better choice.
The programs also organize the MBA experience differently. ASU generally uses five-week classes and offers eight Online MBA concentrations . UF uses 10-week terms , describes its Online MBA learning experience as primarily asynchronous, and places students into cohorts of approximately 50 to 65 students who progress through the curriculum together.
Both business schools are AACSB-accredited , and neither Online MBA currently requires the GMAT or GRE. Those characteristics therefore do not establish a meaningful advantage by themselves.
Comparable program-level evidence does not establish a clear winner on salary, career advancement, employer preference, or ROI.
So the useful question is not:
Which university is better, Arizona State or the University of Florida?
It is:
Which Online MBA provides the curriculum, cost, format, and program structure that better fit what I need?
OMC evaluates the programs using the same criteria and distinguishes verified program differences , institution-level context , and areas where comparable evidence does not establish a winner.
For deeper information about each university beyond this MBA comparison, see OMC’s Arizona State University profile and University of Florida profile .
This page is part of OMC’s Master’s Degree Comparisons , where graduate-school options are evaluated using consistent comparison criteria.
ASU Online MBA vs. UF Online MBA: Verdict Snapshot
Neither program is the better choice for every student. The clearest verified differences are in published cost, required credits, program length, curriculum structure, concentration options, course cadence, and cohort structure .
Consider the ASU Online MBA If…
Give the ASU W. P. Carey Online MBA more weight when:
- ASU’s specific curriculum or concentration options better match your goals. The 51-credit Online MBA offers eight concentrations. Compare the actual courses and specialization requirements rather than assuming that more credits or concentrations make the program better overall.
- You prefer shorter, concentrated classes. ASU generally delivers Online MBA classes in five-week sessions, compared with UF’s 10-week terms.
- You want ASU’s particular program structure. Its 51-credit, 18-class curriculum is materially different from both UF pathways. The additional coursework matters when it includes courses, electives, or specialization opportunities you specifically value.
- You are comfortable with the higher published cost. ASU lists approximately $74,000 in estimated tuition and fees. The additional expense makes the most sense when you can identify specific W. P. Carey program characteristics that matter enough to you to justify it.
Consider the UF Online MBA If…
Give the University of Florida Warrington Online MBA more weight when:
- Lower published cost is a major priority. UF currently publishes total costs of approximately $49,255 for its One-Year Online MBA and $59,882 for its Two-Year Online MBA , both below ASU’s approximately $74,000 in estimated tuition and fees.
- You qualify for and prefer UF’s accelerated pathway. The One-Year Online MBA requires 32 credits and takes approximately 16 months. Eligibility depends on meeting UF’s requirements for that pathway.
- You prefer UF’s cohort structure. Online MBA students progress through the curriculum in cohorts of approximately 50 to 65 students . That establishes a different learning structure from ASU, although it does not by itself establish better networking or career outcomes.
- You prefer 10-week terms. UF uses longer academic terms than ASU’s generally five-week classes.
- You want a choice between two defined program lengths. UF offers both a 32-credit One-Year pathway and a 48-credit Two-Year pathway, allowing eligible students to compare two different routes through the Online MBA.
No Demonstrated Advantage If You’re Choosing Based On…
Available comparable evidence does not establish a clear ASU or UF Online MBA advantage based on:
- Graduate salary.
- Career advancement.
- Employer preference.
- Return on investment.
- Alumni-network impact on career outcomes.
- Overall academic quality based on credit count or program length.
- MBA outcomes based solely on university reputation, research classification, or rankings.
Both programs are also AACSB-accredited , and neither currently requires the GMAT or GRE , so those factors do not independently separate the programs.
Bottom Line
Consider ASU when its particular curriculum, concentration options, 51-credit structure, or five-week course format better matches what you want from the MBA and matters enough to justify the higher published cost.
Consider UF when its lower published cost, choice of two program pathways, cohort structure, or 10-week term format better fits your priorities.
If you qualify for UF’s One-Year Online MBA, its 32-credit, approximately 16-month pathway creates an additional decision point that should be compared directly with both ASU and UF’s Two-Year format.
Do not declare a winner based on salary, employer recognition, career advancement, networking outcomes, or ROI unless comparable evidence specific to these programs establishes the difference.
The strongest choice is the one you can connect to a verified program difference that actually matters to your goal .
How to Read This Comparison
OMC compares the ASU W. P. Carey Online MBA and University of Florida Warrington Online MBA using the same criteria and prioritizes current information about the specific programs.
Because UF offers both a One-Year Online MBA and a Two-Year Online MBA , those pathways are evaluated separately when their credits, cost, completion time, eligibility, or other program characteristics differ.
Program-Level Evidence Comes First
Program characteristics such as tuition and fees, required credits, curriculum, concentrations, admissions requirements, test policies, course structure, completion time, and delivery format can be compared directly when current information is available.
When program details have changed, current published program information takes precedence over older figures or broader university-level data.
Institution-Level Data Provides Context — Not MBA Outcomes
University-level characteristics such as overall enrollment, graduation rates, research classification, and institutional reputation can provide context about ASU and UF.
They do not, by themselves, establish the academic quality, salary outcomes, career advancement, employer preference, networking effectiveness, or student experience of either Online MBA.
The same principle applies to rankings. A current ranking can establish where a program appears under a particular ranking methodology; it does not independently establish that graduates of the higher-ranked program earn more, advance faster, or receive greater employer preference.
When Comparable Evidence Is Missing, There Is No Demonstrated Winner
OMC did not identify sufficiently comparable program-level evidence to declare an ASU or UF advantage in areas such as:
- Graduate salary.
- Employment outcomes.
- Career advancement.
- Employer preference.
- Return on investment.
- Alumni-network impact.
Program structure is not used as a substitute for those outcomes. A cohort model does not automatically establish better networking, just as additional credits, more concentrations, shorter classes, or a higher price do not establish greater academic or career value.
A program receives an advantage in this comparison only when there is a verified difference relevant to the decision . What that difference is worth depends on the student’s goal.
The comparison therefore asks:
What is demonstrably different between these programs, and which of those differences actually matters for the decision you are trying to make?
ASU vs. University of Florida Online MBA: Side-by-Side Comparison
The biggest differences become clearer when ASU is compared separately with UF’s One-Year and Two-Year Online MBA pathways.

What the Table Actually Establishes
UF has the lower current published program cost under either pathway. Its One-Year Online MBA is approximately $24,745 less than ASU’s published estimate, while its Two-Year Online MBA is approximately $14,118 less .
UF also provides two materially different routes through its Online MBA. Eligible students can consider the 32-credit, approximately 16-month One-Year pathway, while the Two-Year pathway requires 48 credits and takes approximately 24 months.
ASU requires more credits and offers a different curriculum structure. Its Online MBA requires 51 credits across 18 classes and currently offers eight concentrations. Whether those additional credits or concentration choices are valuable depends on whether the curriculum provides something the student specifically wants.
The programs use different academic cadences. ASU generally uses five-week classes, while UF uses 10-week terms. UF also places Online MBA students into cohorts of approximately 50–65 students who progress through the curriculum together.
Several characteristics do not separate the programs . Both business schools hold AACSB accreditation, and neither Online MBA currently requires the GMAT or GRE.
Program Cost and Value
UF currently has the lower published program cost under both of its Online MBA pathways.
| Program | Credits | Published Tuition and Fees / Program Cost | Difference vs. ASU |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASU W. P. Carey Online MBA | 51 | Approximately $74,000 | — |
| UF One-Year Online MBA | 32 | Approximately $49,255 | Approximately $24,745 less |
| UF Two-Year Online MBA | 48 | Approximately $59,882 | Approximately $14,118 less |
UF’s published Online MBA pricing does not create the resident-versus-nonresident cost distinction described in older versions of this comparison. The current published totals for these Online MBA pathways are not based on the old assumption that Florida residents receive the primary pricing advantage.
The more useful question is what a student receives for the difference in cost.
ASU’s 51-credit curriculum includes 18 classes and eight available concentrations. UF’s One-Year pathway requires 32 credits, while its Two-Year pathway requires 48 credits. These are different curriculum structures, so the price difference should not be interpreted simply as one university charging more for the same MBA.
For a student considering ASU, the approximately $14,118 to $24,745 higher published cost is most relevant when ASU’s particular courses, concentration options, academic cadence, or other program characteristics provide something the student specifically values.
For a student whose priorities can be met by UF’s curriculum and program structure, UF’s lower published cost is a direct financial advantage before scholarships, employer assistance, financing costs, or other individual circumstances are considered.
Not necessarily.
Lower tuition reduces the amount a student may need to pay for the degree, but return on investment also depends on what happens after enrollment , including career advancement, compensation changes, financing costs, and the extent to which the degree contributes to those outcomes.
Comparable program-level evidence does not establish that ASU or UF produces higher salary gains or better career advancement for Online MBA students.
For that reason, OMC does not convert UF’s lower published price into a claim that it has the better ROI.
Cost winner on current published program pricing: UF.
ROI winner: Not established by comparable program-level evidence.
Curriculum and Concentrations
ASU and UF both cover core MBA disciplines, but they organize the curriculum differently. The most visible distinction is that ASU offers eight formal Online MBA concentrations , while UF’s Online MBA uses its own required-course and elective structure rather than the same concentration model.
ASU Online MBA Curriculum
The ASU W. P. Carey Online MBA requires 51 credits across 18 classes . Its core curriculum includes areas such as finance, marketing, managerial economics, accounting, operations and supply management, organizational theory, and ethical issues for managers.
Students can complete the Online MBA without a concentration or choose from eight:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Business Data Analytics
- Entrepreneurship
- Finance
- International Business
- Leadership
- Marketing
- Supply Chain Management
A concentration requires at least three electives within the selected discipline.
This structure may matter most to students who want their MBA coursework to include a defined focus in one of those areas. The presence of more formal concentration options, however, does not establish that ASU provides greater academic quality or better career outcomes.
UF Online MBA Curriculum
UF’s Warrington Online MBA also covers major business disciplines, including accounting, finance, marketing, economics, operations, strategy, and management.
The curriculum differs depending on the pathway.
The One-Year Online MBA is a 32-credit accelerated option intended for eligible students with the required prior academic preparation. The Two-Year Online MBA requires 48 credits and provides a longer route through the program.
Rather than evaluating UF by how many ASU-style concentrations it offers, students should examine the courses and elective opportunities available within the UF pathway they are considering. A different specialization structure is not inherently a disadvantage if the curriculum covers the subjects a student wants to study.
Which Curriculum Is the Better Fit?
ASU has the clearer advantage when a student specifically wants one of its eight formal Online MBA concentrations.
That advantage becomes much less meaningful when the student does not need one of those concentrations or can obtain the desired coursework through UF’s curriculum.
UF’s One-Year pathway creates a different potential advantage for eligible students: it provides a 32-credit route that builds on qualifying prior business preparation rather than requiring the longer curriculum of UF’s Two-Year program.
The decision therefore should not be based on 51 credits versus 32 or 48 credits alone.
Instead, compare the actual courses you would take:
Which required courses, electives, and specialization opportunities are relevant to what you want to learn — and which would you be paying for without a clear reason?
Flexibility, Course Format, and Time to Completion
Both Online MBAs are designed for students completing graduate business coursework remotely, but they organize that experience differently. Neither program can be labeled universally “more flexible” based on the available evidence.
ASU: Shorter Classes and More Annual Entry Points
ASU’s 51-credit Online MBA generally uses five-week classes . W. P. Carey currently lists multiple entry points during the year, giving prospective students several opportunities to begin the program.
ASU lists an approximately 21-month Online MBA timeline, although actual completion can depend on a student’s path through the curriculum.
The five-week format means students move through individual classes on a shorter academic cycle. That may appeal to students who prefer concentrating on coursework in shorter blocks, but shorter classes should not automatically be interpreted as easier or more flexible.
UF: Two Program Timelines and a Defined Cohort Structure
UF uses 10-week terms and describes its Online MBA learning experience as primarily asynchronous .
Students progress through the curriculum in cohorts of approximately 50 to 65 students , and UF currently offers Fall, Spring, and Summer entry points.
The two UF pathways create different timelines:
- One-Year Online MBA: approximately 16 months for eligible students.
- Two-Year Online MBA: approximately 24 months.
UF estimates that Online MBA students should expect to spend approximately 15 to 20 hours per week on coursework.
The cohort structure establishes that students progress alongside a defined group of peers. It does not, by itself, establish stronger networking, greater accountability, or better student outcomes.
Which Format Is More Flexible?
There is no demonstrated overall flexibility winner .
ASU provides shorter five-week classes and more listed annual entry points .
UF provides primarily asynchronous learning and a choice between two program timelines , although the accelerated One-Year pathway has additional eligibility requirements.
Students should therefore define what flexibility means for their own situation:
- If when you can begin matters, compare available start dates.
- If course cadence matters, compare ASU’s five-week classes with UF’s 10-week terms.
- If speed to completion matters and you qualify, UF’s approximately 16-month One-Year pathway is the shorter published option.
- If cohort progression matters, UF explicitly uses cohorts of approximately 50 to 65 students.
- If weekly workload is a concern, UF publishes an estimate of approximately 15 to 20 hours per week; a directly comparable ASU workload estimate should not be assumed without equivalent program-level information.
The relevant question is not which program uses the word “flexible,” but which structure fits the constraints of your work and personal schedule .
Admissions Requirements
ASU and UF evaluate applicants under different admissions structures, and UF’s One-Year Online MBA has an additional eligibility consideration because it is designed for students with qualifying prior business coursework .
Neither Online MBA currently requires the GMAT or GRE .
ASU Online MBA Admissions
Applicants to the ASU W. P. Carey Online MBA must meet the program’s academic and application requirements.
Current requirements include:
- A bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution.
- A minimum 3.00 cumulative GPA in the last 60 hours of the bachelor’s degree program or an applicable master’s degree.
- Resume.
- Admission essays.
- Letters of recommendation.
The GMAT, GRE, or another standardized admission test is not required . Applicants may submit scores as supplemental information if they choose.
ASU also considers professional experience as part of its application review, but OMC does not use work experience, GPA, or other individual characteristics to predict whether a particular applicant will be admitted.
UF Online MBA Admissions
UF Online MBA applicants submit materials that include academic records, professional experience information, essays, and recommendations as part of the admissions process.
The GMAT and GRE are not required for UF’s Online MBA.
UF’s two pathways also create an important eligibility distinction.
The One-Year Online MBA is designed for applicants who have completed the required prior business coursework within UF’s specified eligibility framework. Students who do not meet those requirements may instead consider the Two-Year Online MBA , which provides the longer curriculum.
That distinction matters because the One-Year program’s 32-credit requirement, approximately 16-month timeline, and lower published program cost should not be treated as options automatically available to every UF applicant.
What Matters When Comparing Admissions
The absence of a GMAT or GRE requirement does not meaningfully separate these programs because neither currently requires the tests .
The more important distinction is UF’s pathway eligibility.
Students attracted to UF’s shorter and less expensive One-Year Online MBA should first determine whether their previous coursework satisfies its requirements. Otherwise, the relevant cost, credit, and completion-time comparison is ASU’s Online MBA versus UF’s Two-Year Online MBA .
Neither program publishes evidence that allows OMC to determine that a particular applicant is “competitive” based solely on GPA, work experience, or other general characteristics. Admission decisions remain with the universities.
Accreditation and Institutional Context
ASU’s W. P. Carey School of Business and UF’s Warrington College of Business are both AACSB-accredited . Accreditation therefore does not create a meaningful distinction between these two Online MBA programs.
Both universities also operate within large public research institutions. Those institutional characteristics can provide useful context, but they should not be treated as evidence that one Online MBA produces better career outcomes than the other.
Career Outcomes: No Comparable Program-Level Winner Established
Career outcomes are important when comparing MBA programs, but they are also an area where institution-level reputation, rankings, and alumni size can easily be mistaken for evidence about the specific Online MBA.
OMC did not identify sufficiently comparable program-level data to conclude that the ASU or UF Online MBA produces better outcomes in:
- Graduate salary.
- Salary growth attributable to the MBA.
- Promotion or career-advancement rates.
- Employment outcomes.
- Employer preference.
- Alumni-network impact.
- Return on investment.
That does not mean the programs produce the same outcomes. It means the available evidence does not support a reliable head-to-head winner.
The structural differences elsewhere in this comparison should not be used as substitutes for those missing outcomes. UF’s cohort model does not establish stronger professional networking, just as ASU’s concentration options do not establish greater employer recognition.
Students comparing the programs for career reasons should therefore focus on the differences they can evaluate directly — including curriculum, concentration or elective fit, cost, program length, course structure, and pathway eligibility — rather than assuming an outcome advantage that comparable data does not demonstrate.
Who Is the ASU W. P. Carey Online MBA Best For?
Best For
Students who want one of ASU’s eight formal concentrations. ASU offers Online MBA concentrations in Artificial Intelligence, Business Data Analytics, Entrepreneurship, Finance, International Business, Leadership, Marketing, and Supply Chain Management. That creates a meaningful distinction when one of those areas directly matches a student’s goals.
Students who prefer shorter course cycles. ASU generally uses five-week classes rather than UF’s 10-week terms. Students who prefer concentrating on individual classes over shorter periods may favor that structure.
Students who value more annual entry opportunities. ASU currently lists more Online MBA start points during the year than UF’s Fall, Spring, and Summer schedule.
Students who specifically prefer ASU’s broader 51-credit curriculum. The additional coursework can be valuable when the courses and electives themselves matter to the student. The credit count alone is not an advantage.
Not the Best Fit For
ASU may be a weaker fit for students who:
- Prioritize the lowest published program cost. Both UF pathways currently cost less.
- Want the shortest available pathway and qualify for UF’s One-Year Online MBA. UF’s accelerated option is approximately 16 months and 32 credits.
- Prefer UF’s defined cohort structure. UF places Online MBA students into cohorts of approximately 50–65 students who progress through the curriculum together.
- Cannot identify enough value in ASU-specific curriculum features to justify the price difference. ASU’s published cost is approximately $14,118 above UF’s Two-Year pathway and approximately $24,745 above UF’s One-Year pathway.
Who Is the University of Florida Warrington Online MBA Best For?
Best For
Eligible students who want the accelerated One-Year pathway. UF’s One-Year Online MBA requires 32 credits and takes approximately 16 months. For students who meet its prior academic requirements, it provides the shortest and lowest-cost pathway in this comparison.
Students prioritizing lower published program cost. UF currently publishes costs of approximately $49,255 for the One-Year Online MBA and $59,882 for the Two-Year Online MBA, compared with approximately $74,000 in estimated tuition and fees at ASU.
Students who prefer a defined cohort structure. UF places Online MBA students into cohorts of approximately 50–65 students who progress through the curriculum together. Students who specifically want that structure may prefer it to ASU’s program format.
Students who prefer 10-week terms. UF’s academic cadence may appeal to students who would rather complete courses over longer terms than ASU’s generally five-week classes.
Not the Best Fit For
UF may be a weaker fit for students who:
- Want one of ASU’s eight formal Online MBA concentrations. Students seeking a specific ASU concentration should compare the relevant curriculum rather than assuming UF offers an equivalent pathway.
- Prefer shorter five-week course cycles. UF uses 10-week terms.
- Want more annual entry opportunities. ASU currently lists more Online MBA start points during the year.
- Are primarily attracted to UF’s One-Year cost and timeline but do not meet its eligibility requirements. In that situation, UF’s Two-Year Online MBA is the more relevant comparison with ASU.
Final Verdict: ASU Online MBA or University of Florida Online MBA?
There is no evidence-based overall winner between the ASU W. P. Carey Online MBA and University of Florida Warrington Online MBA. There are, however, clear winners on several individual decision criteria.
| If Your Priority Is… | Give More Weight To… | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Lowest published program cost | UF | Both UF pathways currently have lower published costs than ASU. |
| Shortest available pathway | UF One-Year, if eligible | Approximately 16 months and 32 credits. |
| Formal concentration options | ASU | Eight Online MBA concentrations are currently available. |
| Shorter course cycles | ASU | Classes generally run five weeks versus UF’s 10-week terms. |
| Defined cohort progression | UF | Students progress in cohorts of approximately 50–65. |
| More annual entry opportunities | ASU | ASU currently lists more Online MBA start points during the year. |
| AACSB accreditation | No difference | Both business schools are AACSB-accredited. |
| No GMAT/GRE requirement | No difference | Neither Online MBA currently requires the tests. |
| Salary, career advancement, employer preference, or ROI | No demonstrated winner | Comparable program-level evidence does not establish an advantage. |
The Decision Rule
Consider ASU when you specifically value its 51-credit curriculum, one of its eight concentrations, five-week class structure, or additional annual entry opportunities enough to accept the higher published cost.
Consider UF’s One-Year Online MBA when you meet its eligibility requirements and prioritize a shorter, lower-cost pathway with a defined cohort structure.
Consider UF’s Two-Year Online MBA when you prefer UF’s program structure but do not qualify for, or do not want, the accelerated pathway. Its approximately $59,882 published cost remains below ASU’s approximately $74,000 estimate, while its 48-credit curriculum and approximately 24-month timeline create a much closer structural comparison with ASU.
If your decision depends primarily on salary growth, employer preference, career advancement, networking outcomes, or ROI , the available comparable evidence does not establish which program will produce the better result.

Frequently Asked Questions
The University of Florida Online MBA has the lower current published program cost under both of its pathways. UF publishes a total cost of approximately $49,255 for its One-Year Online MBA and $59,882 for its Two-Year Online MBA. ASU lists approximately $74,000 in estimated tuition and fees for its Online MBA.
Lower published cost does not, by itself, establish better ROI because comparable program-level salary and career-advancement outcomes are not available to establish an ROI winner.
No. UF’s 32-credit One-Year Online MBA is an accelerated pathway for applicants who meet its eligibility requirements, including qualifying prior business coursework.
Students interested in its approximately 16-month timeline and $49,255 published cost should confirm that they qualify for the One-Year pathway before using those figures to compare UF with ASU.
No. Neither the ASU W. P. Carey Online MBA nor the UF Warrington Online MBA currently requires the GMAT or GRE.
Because both programs share this policy, standardized testing does not currently provide a meaningful reason to choose one over the other.
ASU currently offers eight formal Online MBA concentrations: Artificial Intelligence, Business Data Analytics, Entrepreneurship, Finance, International Business, Leadership, Marketing, and Supply Chain Management.
UF uses a different curriculum and elective structure rather than the same concentration model. Students should therefore compare the actual courses available at both schools instead of using concentration count alone as a measure of curriculum quality.
UF’s One-Year Online MBA is the shortest published pathway in this comparison at approximately 16 months, but students must meet its eligibility requirements.
ASU lists an approximately 21-month Online MBA timeline, while UF’s Two-Year Online MBA takes approximately 24 months.
Program length should be considered alongside required credits, curriculum, course cadence, and the student’s eligibility for UF’s accelerated pathway.
