Hong Kong MBA

Course Schedule

The program requires completion of 15 courses. Each course combines online work both before and after two weekends in Hong Kong. A typical class meets 30 hours for lectures, preceded and followed by web-based tutorials. The courses involve case studies, team projects, guest speakers, and real-world applications. A new course begins approximately every 6 weeks. Students should be aware that there is overlap between courses as one ends and another begins.

Each cycle of courses includes the 9 core courses and 6 elective course offerings. The electives vary by cycle and include all areas of business, such as entrepreneurship, finance, management, and marketing. The goal of the Tippie MBA is to develop a well-rounded, global business leader and the variety of electives helps achieve this.

Students' plans of study may differ depending on which class in the program they begin with. Depending on the start date of the program, a student may graduate in 15-18 months if he/she completes each course consecutively and does not defer any courses. If a student chooses to defer a course, he/she must keep in mind that it will delay completion of the degree.

We encourage students not to defer core courses as they provide preparation for future electives. Also, elective courses vary by cycle and may not be repeated in the next cycle. If there is a particular elective a student is interested in, he/she should not defer it as it may not be available again during his/her plan of study.
