MBA Course of Study

The on-campus program is an accelerated 16-month program comprised of 42 credit hours of coursework. The program is sequential and lock-step.

Pre-Term:

Students will be required to take a pre-term assessment to determine their proficiency in quantitatively-based subjects. Deficiencies in these subject areas will require completion of a short foundational course (approximately 20 hours of time required to complete each course). Addressing potential deficiencies prior to beginning the MBA core curriculum will ensure that all students are equipped for success in their subsequent studies.

Students will also participate in a one to two week teambuilding seminar prior to the start of their fall coursework
