A small group of graduate students follow the course sequence together for two years, taking two courses per trimester for six trimesters. Cohort programs begin in the fall. Please see the program calendar for specific course dates. At this orientation, new graduate students will register for classes, meet with faculty, and collect course assignments for the first trimester. The schedule is set for the entire program, eliminating concern about getting into classes and making it easy to plan work and family activities in advance.
Students form a supportive and continuing study group.
The key business skills and constructs needed for preparation for the graduate courses in the MBA in Strategic Leadership will be offered through accelerated courses in these areas. Competency may be demonstrated either by completion of a college course, successfully testing out of a course through challenge exams, or completion of Dominican University core competency courses. All of the courses will be offered on weeknights concurrently with MBA-SL courses. Therefore, students who need the core competencies may be concurrently enrolled in the MBA- SL program and in a core competency courses. Some courses will be offered in the spring and summer prior to the start of the MBA-SL program.
