During the fall and spring semesters each course meets one night per week. Most part-time students take two courses in each of the fall and spring terms. Most full-time students take three or four courses each fall and spring term, plus one or two courses each summer and intersession term. Approximately 11 graduate assistantships are available for outstanding full-time MBA students in each year. The assistants may work with The Kania School of Management faculty in their research and other academic duties, in Information Resources or in other University offices.
Assistants receive a stipend and are eligible for a tuition scholarship.
All MBA students must have academic preparation in the Foundation areas listed below. Courses designed to meet this requirement are ordinarily taken at the undergraduate level. Any foundation courses required of a student will be identified in that student's letter of admission to the program. Any disagreement with the assignment of foundation courses should be reviewed with the student's mentor shortly after receiving the letter of admission. Students taking the latter courses without having the assigned foundation requirements waived will be required to take the necessary foundation courses before graduating.
