Our online MBA program curriculum features 13 core courses, two in-person immersions—during which students learn from leading experts in Washington, DC, and other global business capitals—and the opportunity to select a predesigned focus area or a range of electives to personalize your education and meet your career goals.

Most students complete the 48-credit program on a 24-month course sequence, but the program can also be completed on a 12-month, 15-month, or 18-month track.

Business Fundamentals

The program begins with the Business Fundamentals course, during which you will build a solid understanding of core business principles, learn to think critically about all aspects of business, and develop a strong foundation before diving further into advanced concepts in your core courses.

Advanced Standing

Students with exceptional professional experience may be considered for advanced standing. If you apply to the program and are granted Advanced Standing, you will not take the Business Fundamentals course. Instead, you will take an additional elective of your choosing, totaling 9 elective credits.

Analytics Certificate

You will have the option to pursue an analytics certificate in addition to your MBA degree, for no additional cost or time to complete, by selecting three analytics electives. The certificate is designed to prepare you to predict behaviors and make sound business decisions using data analysis.
