The Marist MBA program is designed to accommodate the academic needs of working professionals with undergraduate degrees in areas outside of business as well as graduates of business related programs. Marist's MBA program includes a series of 7 foundation courses that provide graduates of other disciplines with the academic cornerstones in business that they will need to successfully complete their graduate studies in business administration.
Foundation courses are waivable based on prior academic experience.
Depending upon your prior undergraduate preparation in Business Administration, the entire 30-credit program can be completed in as little as 2 years. Students may transfer in up to 6 credits of approved graduate courses toward their MBA at Marist College. Traditional classroom-based courses are scheduled at the Poughkeepsie main campus and the Fishkill Education site. Throughout those eight weeks, students access lectures, share course information, work on group projects, submit class work, and take exams, all on-line. Because students do not have to pace themselves based upon a 3 hour class, scheduled once a week for fifteen weeks, as in a regular semester, the same course objectives can be satisfied in eight weeks with more of a continuous learning approach.
