At ACLAS, all programs, including MBA, MCS, and DBA are offered through self-paced online learning, so the duration depends on your personal schedule and pace.

However, standard course durations are:

| Program | Typical Duration | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| MBA | 1 - 2 years | 8 courses, 120 credits; each course includes a 15-question multiple-choice test per credit. |
| MCS | 1 - 3 years | 7 courses, 120 credits; each course includes 15–question multiple-choice questions per credit. |
| DBA | 3 - 5 years | 14 courses, 210 credits; each course includes a 15-question multiple-choice test per credit. |

However, do note that:

  • Students can accelerate or slow down their studies according to personal and professional commitments.


    • All programs are fully online and self-paced, allowing flexible progression without strict deadlines.

    • Completion of all courses and assessments is required to receive certificate and academic transcript.
