MBA Program delivery flexibly caters to the time demands of the working professional. The program can be completed in 14 months (excluding FOLC courses), but may take up to three and a half years, depending on enrollment status and course load.
Upon admission, MBA students should specify whether they will be enrolled full-time or part-time.
A maximum of 12 credits and minimum of 6 credits are required for full-time MBA status each regular semester, and a maximum of 9 credits in the summer term.
A maximum of 6 credits and minimum of 3 credits are required for part-time MBA status each regular semester or summer session. A part-time student must complete a minimum of 11 credits in an academic year, including the summer term.
Any request for taking a course load below the minimum or exceeding the maximum limits stated above must be approved by the OSB Graduate Studies Committee. All requirements for the MBA degree must be completed within a maximum of four years after admission to graduate study.
