text: how long does it take to get a mba? please answers only 1 year if you get into the 1 year program 2 if you get into the 2 year program 3 depending on you getting into the 3 year program  lot depends on what you did before you applied for the mba.  like if you did a bba or if you started a company like microsoft you might even get phd in business administration without having attended a single class. work experience adds value in getting the right program.  but if you are starting from your kindergarten it will probably take you about 15 years to get there.
