Curriculum
The full-time MBA program is a lock-step curriculum model. You will enter as a cohort
group during the fall semester and graduate at the conclusion of the following fall
semester.
In this curriculum model, you will take a set of 10 core courses and select 3 elective
courses to fulfill your individual interests or the requirements of a specific concentration.
This includes an international experience in the spring semester.
Additionally, if you have less than two years of full-time work experience, you will
also be required to complete a summer internship between the second and third academic
semesters.
