MBA students are admitted as a cohort and take the same classes during Autumn, Winter and Spring Quarters. In the Summer Quarter, students take Global Business and Enterprise IT Management. Students may add an elective as an overload to the curriculum or by waiving a class.
During Autumn through Spring Quarters, classes are usually held on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5:45 to 10:05 P.M. During Summer Quarter, students take two classes each lasting for four weeks and usually on MW evenings during the first and/or second parts of the quarter.
An MBA Orientation is scheduled in mid-September with a meal provided. The orientation includes MBA faculty, staff, students and alumni.
Students begin building their new MBA cohort in early September with the three-day Leadership, Team Process, and Decision-Making course (plus one Saturday and two evening classes) which concludes before the Strategic Management in High-Technology Firms and Quantitative Methods and Business Statistics classes start in late September.
During spring of the second year of the MBA Program, students complete Entrepreneurship Practicum, a capstone course, where teams develop new business plans and make final presentations to external experts.
For 2009-11, the MBA curriculum has been revised as part of our continuous improvements based on feedback from students and faculty. Course numbers and descriptions will be available in the late fall.
