The
Master in Business Administration (MBA) degree curriculum can range from 36 to
45 credits (12–15 courses) depending on your academic background. Our curriculum
provides a foundation of core business courses at the outset of the program
that are enhanced through the upper level courses as well as the capstone course
and project.
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.
