Subjects of Study
The online MBA follows the same structure as its hybrid alternative differing only in delivery method. This program is created for those who cannot fit an hybrid program around their other commitments.

All students in the same cohort will progress through the program together for the first two terms by taking three core courses each term. Core courses will be offered on multiple days and at different times. In your third term, you will take two core courses and you will select your first elective. In your fourth term, you will take one core course and choose two electives. In your fifth and final term, you will take two core courses and a Capstone Experience Course(s) opt for Course-based Learning Courses.
Students pursuing an MBA part-time will progress at a different pace through the Cohort System.
