The one-year hybrid Master of Business Administration (MBA) program allows students to enroll full-time (12 credit hours) for three consecutive semesters, starting this fall, with graduation culminating in August 2025. The program features a unique format where students will attend one in-person and one online course every 8 weeks, offering flexibility and accessibility.

To be eligible for admission, students should have a minimum GPA of 3.0; however, promising students with a GPA of 2.75 or higher will also be considered.
