CLASS SCHEDULE

Students are admitted into the MBA + during fall quarter only.

The coursework within the MBA + program can be grouped into four segments: foundation skills, business disciplines, integration, and specialization/electives (view Curriculum ).  

The MBA + program allows students to focus their degree in a wide array of topics, thanks to the range of coursework both inside the business school and available through other departments in the University. Students are required to take 16 of their 72 required credits as electives. Students may wish to concentrate their electives in a certain area of study (view Concentrations ).
