Full-Time MBA Curriculum and Schedule

Beginning each Fall, the Full-Time MBA is a cohort-based, 45-credit journey structured into four distinct phases, ensuring you develop the broad strategic understanding and leadership depth required for a successful career. Your experience begins with Business Fundamentals, three self-paced, zero-credit modules designed to build a consistent baseline of competency across foundational business areas in Accounting, Finance and Marketing. These pass/fail requirements provide a flexible way to sharpen your skills and must be completed before classes start.

Once you have established this foundation, you will move into the credited portion of the program, starting with Quantitative Foundations to master data-driven decision-making. You will then progress through the Essentials—the core pillars of business strategy and operations—before tailor-fitting your degree through Concentrations and Elective work. This comprehensive progression ensures you graduate with a customized, rigorous education, fully prepared to lead in your chosen field.
