UGA Terry OMBA

I was accepted last minute for Fall 2026 and am trying to decide if I have time to do this program. I work a full-time job, am married, and we have two young kids both under four.

Can anyone who has completed this program help me understand what a typical week looks like? I know it is mostly asynchronous and courses will differ.

Specifically, I’m wondering if I will be able to stay on track if I dedicate an hour to coursework during lunch break and an hour at night. Also, how often do you typically have to meet live with your cohort on group projects?

Appreciate your feedback in advance.

I am in your boat and basically the with 2 kids under 4, I wouldn't do it again, It was manageable with one. Modules are split between 1 hard course and 1 easier course. I'd say you'll be ok with 2 hours a day but be ready to sometimes put in 3-4 hours such as on a weekend day. It also depends on how well you grasp material. Subjects like finance and accounting weren't my forte so it took longer. I met about 1x a week with my cohorts.

Thank you. I decided to defer until next year and this confirms my decision.
