The Master of Business Administration in Systems Management Program is designed for working individuals who already possess a Bachelor’s degree and have embarked upon a business career. The program is built upon a systematic approach to leadership and management and uniquely combines the teaching of business theory and its practical application with the day-today work experience of the student.

Curriculum

The MBA program includes a minimum of 40 credit hours of course work, not including any required foundation courses. Classes are offered weeknights during three semesters in the calendar year. Participants can complete the sequence of 12 core classes and four hours of elective seminars in two years if they choose, but the pace at which students proceed through the curriculum is flexible to accommodate individual student needs. Each core class meets one evening per week for 12 weeks for a period of three hours and 10 minutes. The elective seminars typically meet for three hours and ten minutes one night per week over a three week term. The three-week terms for elective seminars are scheduled at the start of the Fall and Spring semesters prior to the beginning of the 12-week core class schedule. Students may be required to complete all or some of the foundation courses before the regular core course sequence.
