The program (37 credit hours) takes five semesters and two summers, usually in 30 consecutive months, including a four credit hour capstone course in the final semester. The accelerated format assumes students spend more time on coursework out of class than in a traditional delivery format.

Students are expected to take the courses in the order outlined below. Any deviation from this schedule must be approved by the MBA program director.

NOTE: Course requirements and order may change as the program evolves. Students are accountable to the sequence of course work under the catalog in which they entered the program and as updated from time to time on the MBA website at www.emu.edu/mba. Should program courses change and the student desire to replace an old requirement with a new one, he/she must petition the co-directors for the change to occur.
