Course Schedules

The MBA courses are offered in five 9-week terms each calendar year.  Classes are typically offered on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.  Classes typically begin at 6:00 p.m. and end at 10:00 p.m.  The goal of this format is to allow working adults an opportunity to attend class one night each week and complete the 36 hour program in under two and a half years.  Students who take classes more frequently will be able to finish in a shorter period of time.  Students can complete the 36 hour program in one calendar year, however, under that format, there will be at least two terms in which the student will be required to take three courses.  Students who are required to take the three leveling classes will have their program extended by approximately 3 terms if they take courses one at a time.
