Evening MBA

Pursuing an MBA that fits your schedule is a Smart Move.

Understanding the Evening MBA

The part-time Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) program is intended to be an advanced general management degree. As such, the MBA curriculum includes as many as four to six electives as a degree requirement.

Students may decide to concentrate the electives in a particular area of study to create an area of emphasis. However, it may serve some students better to consider using the electives to round out their business expertise rather than concentrating their study in one or more areas of emphasis.
