Is there any thesis required during the program?

Updated at Feb 6, 2026, Viewed 0 times

No, ACLAS programs do not require a thesis or dissertation for completion.

All ACLAS degree programs, including MBA, MCS, and DBA are designed to be assessment-based.

Instead of a traditional research thesis, each course includes assessments and multiple-choice exams that evaluate your understanding of the material.

These assessments allow you to demonstrate your knowledge and skills practically and efficiently without writing a long-form thesis.

After you complete all course requirements

You’ll earn your digital ACLAS degree certificate and transcript upon passing all exams and fulfilling the credit requirements for your program.

You can then download your digital certificate and transcript from your student account.
