Students that come directly into the MBA program from their undergraduate program may not have a clear picture of their future career goals. Some potential employers will view an MBA without work experience as only an extension of the undergraduate work. It is to your advantage to gain professional experience prior to starting an MBA program. Decisions as to residency are handled by the Graduate School, not by the MBA Office. Students may vary their course load each semester.
Tuition is based on how many credit hours taken each semester.
The more classes taken, the lower the cost per credit hour. Most MBA students that have a full-time career take a maximum of two classes per semester. Outside work for many of the classes may require 8 to 10 hours per week. In general, all MBA classes and prerequisites are three credit hours each. The minimum number of required classes could be 12 graduate level classes and one prerequisite class.
