Part-Time MBA Curriculum and Schedule

The Part-Time MBA curriculum offers the flexibility to start in either the Fall or Spring, following a 45-credit framework structured into four distinct phases, ensuring you develop the broad strategic understanding and leadership depth required for a successful career. Designed for maximum versatility, the program allows you to progress at your own pace, with completion paths ranging from 18 months to five years. 

Your experience begins with Business Fundamentals, three self-paced, zero-credit modules designed to build a consistent baseline of competency across all foundational business areas in Accounting, Finance and Marketing. These pass/fail requirements provide a flexible way to sharpen your skills and must be completed during your first semester.

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. Whether you choose to specialize in a specific major or explore elective topics like Artificial Intelligence and Business Analytics, this comprehensive progression ensures you graduate with a customized, rigorous education, fully prepared to lead in your chosen field.
