The Evening M.B.A. Program is designed to meet the needs of professionals who wish to continue in their careers while pursuing a graduate management degree. Students choose to complete the Evening M.B.A. through either the Self-Paced or Cohort Option. Students following the Self-Paced Option have the flexibility in the pacing of their courses. Alternatively students in the Cohort option will take the first 11 core courses together.
The required core curriculum in the Evening program provides a strong foundation in managerial, analytical, and practical management skills.
The Business Development Workshop helps students take their analytical and teamwork skills to a higher level through an innovative new-venture planning exercise, which also hones valuable presentation skills. Evening Program study is capped by two integrative courses, which look at competitive strategy and social issues from a management perspective. Students choose from a wide selection of electives for a total of 18 credits, which allows them to pursue individual interests and enhance their functional expertise.
Students generally take two courses in the fall and spring semesters, but may take additional courses during the summer. Evening students must complete 56 credits of course work as well as 20 hours of community service. Most Evening program classes meet once a week from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. during the academic year, with a limited number meeting from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and a few on Saturdays. Summer courses meet twice a week from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Evening students typically complete their degrees in four years.
