Description
Two-Year Program
This four-semester, 48-credit Program is designed for individuals with diverse academic and professional backgrounds. Each semester is split into two eight-week modules, allowing seven weeks of class work and one week of exams.
During the first year, students enroll in twelve core business classes that provide a solid foundation of functional business skills. During the second year, students take elective courses and have the opportunity to focus their studies in one or more specific business disciplines.
Students may choose to focus their studies from among one hundred elective courses in one or more of sixteen concentrations and six certificate programs. The curriculum for each of these offerings is driven by industry leaders, who assist our faculty in developing course content that will best prepare our graduates for successful careers in these fields.
