Sample three-year plan of study
This plan represents one of many ways to earn the Online MBA in three years. Plan to collaborate with your academic advisor to craft a plan of study that works for you. Choose from several formats to complete your six electives: five-week intersession, 11-week fall and spring semesters, condensed winter session (either five days in-person or hybrid online/in-person, so you'd need to be able to travel to one of our locations), or Global Learning Opportunity courses. Doubling up on classes in an 11-week session or adding alternate elective options allows you to take breaks or skip intersession courses.
