Full-Time MBA Curriculum
The Full-Time MBA curriculum is rooted in real-world experiences and practical skills that will grow your career within a technology-driven, global marketplace.
Course Requirements
The first two semesters of the program consist mostly of core courses — most of which are offered on campus during regular business hours. The second half of the program is when students typically complete the majority of their electives and specialized courses, which are most often completed via online and/or evening courses; this provides full-time students an opportunity to collaborate with our Professional Online MBA students.
