MBA — Program Overview

The Master of Business Administration is offered in two formats: full-time and part-time (evening). Both formats lead to the same degree and require the same number of credit hours.

Length and Structure

The program consists of 54 credit hours in both formats. The two formats differ in pace:

• Full-time. Two years across four terms, including one required summer term between the first and second year. Daytime class schedule.
• Part-time (evening). Three years across six terms, with no required summer term. Evening class schedule, designed for students who work during the day.

Curriculum

Core coursework covers finance, marketing, operations, and strategy, and is the same across both formats. Students choose an elective concentration in their second year (full-time) or final year (part-time, evening).

Capstone

Students in both formats complete a strategic consulting capstone project in their final term. Capstone teams work with a sponsoring organization on a live business problem; the team composition and sponsoring-organization process are the same for both formats.
