Evening Part-Time MBA Program
Thrive in business school and in the business world, simultaneously.
Are you looking to earn your MBA while keeping your current job?
The evening part-time Master of Business Administration (MBA) program at the Knauss School of Business makes it possible for working professionals like you to take advantage of the same curriculum as our full-time Knauss MBA students. In addition to mastering the fundamentals, you'll participate in powerful experiential learning opportunities — including study abroad, two consulting projects and highly relevant coursework. You'll reap the benefits of applying newly developed skills in your job, without having to sacrifice the career success you've already built.
And starting in Fall 2022, you can take advantage of your prior business experience and coursework to waive certain core classes and maximize your learning in the Knauss MBA program.
The Knauss School's evening Part-Time MBA program allows you to balance your professional responsibilities during the day with coursework completed on campus in the evenings. You will have the opportunity to greatly expand your business network and participate in our highly engaging classroom environment while completing the program at your own pace. Classes meet two nights a week after standard business hours. Looking for less travel time? You can also consider San Diego’s first hybrid-format MBA program, which combines on-campus weekend classes with online learning. Regardless of which format you choose, we will help you become a more versatile professional and a more impactful leader.
GMAT waivers are available for the Fall 2022 application cycle. See if you qualify here.
