Courses | Master of Business Administration (MBA)

Transfer of Credits

Students transferring from a regionally accredited graduate program may transfer a maximum of 6 credits. The courses transferred must be equivalent, have direct applicability to the student's program, and be approved by the Chair or Dean. Only courses with a grade of B (3.0) or higher will be considered for transfer toward the MBA degree; a grade of B- is not transferable.

Calendar

The program utilizes three 15-week trimesters (Fall, Spring, and Summer). Each trimester is divided into two 7-week terms (for example, Fall Session A and Fall Session B). Students typically take one or two courses at a time in each 7-week section. If enrolled part-time, students primarily attend one night per week. If enrolled full-time, students may attend two nights per week.

Curriculum Requirements

Thirty-six credits of graduate courses are required for all MBA degrees in the Crowell School of Business, which include 3 graduate credits of business ethics.
