The Master in Business Administration (MBA) Online Cohort curriculum can range from 36 to 45 credits (12–15 classes), depending on your academic background. With 24-33 credits of foundation courses, you will build the necessary background for your study in interdisciplinary courses, concentration class and a final project, your Capstone.

The MBA faculty use various course formats to help you learn, including case studies, lecture/discussion, group projects and simulation exercises to ensure what you gain in one course will reinforce and build on what you learn in others.
