Our AACSB accredited business school offers an MBA with the option to concentrate in one of the following areas: Finance, Marketing, Operations Technology Management, Health Care, and Entrepreneurship.Our MBA Program requires all students tp complete a 36-39 semester hour program. MBA students choose the pace at which they complete the program; if you just need the 36-hour program and take two classes each semester (Fall, Spring, Summer), you could complete the program in two calendar years. Full-time students can complete the program in 1-2 years. Most classes are offered from 7:10-9:55 pm, one night weekly. We also have a small selection of courses offered from 4:10-6:55 pm.Our admission requirements are listed on the Internet at http://business.up.edu via the Pamplin School of Business link or the Graduate School link.
