Current Students - Online MBA

The Online MBA program is 43 credit hours that include 31 hours of core designed to prepare professionals for decision-making in the functional areas of management, and 12 credit hours (4 classes) of track courses or electives to gain an in-depth understanding and expertise of a particular specialized industry, discipline, or field. The online MBA program may be completed on a full-time or part-time basis.
