Does something like this exist?

<p>Are there (relatively good) U.S. Universities that offer 1-year, graduate (level) programs in business, preferably in Finance? </p>

<p>Does something like this exist, or do all graduate level programs of Universities in the U.S. take per definition at least 2 years? If such programs do not exist, is it then maybe that 1-year undergraduate level programs (or perhaps some kind of 'certificate programs') in Finance (or in business in general) do exist?</p>

<p>Please make my day and tell me these exist (don't lie though ;))</p>

<p>You might look at the Fletcher School of International Affairs’ (Tufts University, Medford, Massachusetts) Global Master of Arts Program. It is one year long, and combines on-campus and off-campus study. It is not in business specifically but you can choose to focus on the business part of it, and take classes in Leadership & Management, International Finance, International Trade Economics & Investment, and International Business & Economic Law.</p>

<p>Thanks for your suggestion, but this unfortunately isn’t really an option for me. I am currently 21, have no ‘professional’ working experience yet, and it would concern the 2008-2009 academic year…</p>
