Proposed Changes to the MBA Program
A proposal to revise the MBA curriculum is currently progressing through University governance and is pending final approval. This proposal would reduce the course requirements for the MBA program down to 45-credits from the existing 60-credit requirement. This would effectively allow students to complete the MBA program in a single year (12 months). When fully approved, our website will be updated to reflect the changes. In the interim, you can read more about the proposal and the impact on the MBA program through the link below.

These strong connections carry forward into our active alumni network.
