Graduate Program Format
Our graduate programs offer classes in a seven-week format, with six sessions spanning one full year. Classes are offered one night a week, or alternating Saturdays. Students may begin the program at the start of any seven-week session:
| Spring Session I | January |
| Spring Session II | March |
| Summer Session I | May |
| Summer Session II | June/July |
| Fall Session I | August |
| Fall Session II | October |
MBA, MASTER OF MANAGEMENT, M.S. FINANCE, AND M.S. TAXATION
Master degree programs in all areas of business are available to students in a variety of formats and time-to-completion.
Time to Completion
Are you looking to complete your degree as swiftly as you can? Enroll in two classes in each seven-week session (two evenings a week, or one evening and one Saturday) and your degree can be completed in exactly one year!
Competing demands at the workplace or at home? One class each seven-week session still earns you the degree in merely two years. One night x two years = MBA!
Sometimes you are busy, and sometimes not? Decide between one or two classes each seven-week session, and finish in between one and two years. It is all up to you!
Variable Format
Traditional class meetings in a classroom on campus are offered for students who appreciate the in-person interactive approach to learning.
Hybrid format offers the in-person classroom experience one week, and online-only the next week, reducing the commute to campus, while still connecting you to your professor and your classmates.
Online-only is available for students who live at a distance, who work unconventional hours not conducive to class attendance, or who simply want to complete their degree from the comfort of their home office.
Newly added, Live Online offers students the best of both worlds. Each week, the class is taught in-person on campus for students who thrive in the classroom environment. The class is conducted with Zoom TV, offering other students the opportunity to attend class from any location, and still interact with the professor and fellow students in the classroom. Attend all class meetings via Zoom TV from the remote location of your choice, attend all class meetings in person, or mix it up week by week to suit your individual needs. Currently, the MS in Finance and MA in Counseling Psychology (below) can be completed entirely through Live Online, while students in other degree programs may incorporate Live Online courses as they fit their degree program requirements.
