Textbooks
Averett's accelerated programs for working professionals utilizes MBS Direct as its preferred online bookstore. Students, however, may elect to purchase books from other sources.
Purchasing Textbooks from MBS
MBS Direct guarantees that it will have the books specified for Averett’s course modules in stock, ready for shipment within 24 hours. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the book you receive you can return it for complete credit within 14 days of the course start.
MBS Direct makes every effort to offer used books for a 25 percent savings. In addition, you will receive a letter or E-mail (if your book has a buy back value) near the end of your course, listing the price MBS Direct will pay for your textbooks.
Textbooks are delivered via UPS by one of three methods: Ground, Second Day Air or Next Day Air (Priority Mail available). You pay the current rate based on weight and destination.

Purchasing from Another Source
If you purchase textbooks from a vendor other than MBS, please be aware of the following:
- Purchase the U.S. edition
- Be sure the book(s) includes the case studies faculty require
- Confirm delivery dates. Some companies indicate books are in stock when in reality they have to order from the publisher. This results in an additional 10 day to two-week delay in delivery.
