The MBA emphasizes leadership and ethics throughout all courses in the program. An integral part of the LeTourneau experience is to provide a foundation of Christian values and ethics consistent with the mission of the university and which may be used throughout personal and professional living. Course content also applies theory to business practice necessary for success in the business world. Should general education or elective courses be needed in addition to the core courses to meet graduation requirements, they may also be taken through the division and the time of completion may be extended. The MBA program usually takes about 22 months to complete the required course work.
All students progress as a cohort group together through the program for faculty and peer learning.
Students meet for classes once a week during a four-hour block of evening instruction. In addition, students meet in study group activities for four additional hours during the week. A cohort group of students may begin any time during the year when 16 to 22 students are ready to start the program. Students are divided into study groups for courses to enhance learning and to simulate the use of teams in the business world. Participation in study groups facilitates peer learning and leadership and is required weekly for approximately four hours to complete case study assignments, projects, and preparation for class presentations.
