Center for Executive and Professional Development - Distance Learning

The Distance Learning MBA is 36- to 48-credit-hour program in an ideal educational format for motivated, full-time working professionals who have travel obligations, face relocation or otherwise don’t have time for a traditional classroom MBA.

Designed to integrate the knowledge, skills and experiences necessary to help you achieve your career goals, the program is different from other online or virtual MBA programs in that it incorporates the same teamwork focus featured in the full-time MBA. You will get to know others earning their MBA degrees as you develop a team orientation that the business world values.

The Distance Learning MBA, classified as a part-time program, requires 33 hours of core courses and 15 hours of electives. Depending on undergraduate background, students may qualify for credit-hour waivers.

Applicants must have a four-year undergraduate degree from an accredited university or college, possess a competitive GMAT score and at least a 3.0 GPA. Work experience is preferred but not required. While there are no formal prerequisite courses to the program, a sound background in calculus and quantitative skills is beneficial.
