Regardless of undergraduate education, the candidates will find a challenging program designed to meet their specific background and needs. The program is comprised of 15 to 22 four-credit courses. Students with an undergraduate record in business or economics may make application to waive certain foundation courses. The foundation consists of courses in accounting, management, statistics, marketing, operations management, finance, economics and computer information systems. The balance of the program is comprised of advanced courses in some of the above areas and elective courses.
All students are able to select at least six electives.
Classes are offered in the evening, and students attend four quarters a year. A new class is admitted for June of each year. Some students may be able to have the first summer quarter classes waived and start the program in the fall. Part-time students take two courses per quarter and require 11 consecutive quarters to complete the degree. Full-time students proceed at a pace of four courses per quarter and will normally complete their requirements in six consecutive quarters.
