Curriculum – Full-Time MBA

Get ready for the most intense, challenging, bonding, transitional time of your life.

This 53 semester-credit-hour program features a full-time, daytime core curriculum that students complete in as few as 18 months, with an optional extra semester for a 21-month program.

Each cohort of students starts in August. These students follow a lockstep progression of core courses through the program, taking all their core classes together (typically Monday through Thursday, with Friday reserved for career enrichment) and graduating 18 months later in December.
