Efficient Scheduling for Busy Professionals

The hybrid format of the MBA allows students, corporate fellows, and faculty to do much of the learning outside of class so that they can focus on the most important concepts during valuable class time. This works exceptionally well for the flipped-classroom environment.
Most courses are offered either face-to-face or online (synchronous). This allows students to choose the format that works best for their needs.

Presently,  most Core, Concentration, and Graduate Certificate programs start in the fall semester, and many also start in the spring semester. The face-to-face portion of each class is offered one night a week over an eight-week term. Core classes are offered on Monday and/or Wednesday nights, allowing students to complete two core courses per eight-week term. Students completing 20 hours of core classes at this rate will take 8 hours in fall semester and 8 hours in the spring semester, and 4 hours in the summer term.

Concentration/Graduate Certificate classes are offered one night a week over eight weeks, one course at a time. Programs starting the fall which are comprised of either five or six classes will be completed during the summer term with the addition of a one-hour graduate colloquium course. Across terms, each concentration/graduate certificate course is offered on either Tuesday or Thursday evening for most of the concentrations.
