Our Full-time MBA is a 16-month, cohort-based program where students who start the program together take all of their courses together the first semester. The supportive learning environment features small classes and stresses collaborative teamwork and networking with fellow business professionals in the program.
Faculty employ a mix of learning strategies including case studies, field projects, and simulations to ensure the mastery of business tools and theories and their application to real life professional experiences.
After the first semester students have the option of customizing their program to fit the educational and scheduling needs. Full-time MBA students take their elective courses in the evening with students in the International MBA and Evening MBA programs, providing students the opportunity to expand their peer network.
Areas of emphasis within the program create the opportunity for an innovative education tailored to the needs of each individual.
The Centers and Institutes of the School of Business offer an array of opportunities to MBA students including internships, international consulting practicums, and study abroad programs.
