The MBA program is designed with the working professional in mind. It consists of a minimum of 30 semester hours of credit. The MBA is delivered through a flexible program featuring online and/or blended delivery methods each semester.
- Online: Web-based courses are geared to provide motivated learners greater flexibility as they are challenged by a variety of assignments and learning opportunities. Students do not have to be online at a certain time; however, there are deadlines for assignments.
- Blended: Blended courses are also an option for certain courses, combining online with residential.
We advise students to take the combination of residential or online courses that best balances their needs for personal attention and flexibility.
