This program is a full-time program, requiring attendance in day courses. Due to the structured nature of the curriculum, there is limited flexibility in the days and times you will be in class, especially with your core required courses. If you are looking for a program geared towards working professionals, please check out our Flex MBA or Online Specialized Master’s for part-time programs.
