M.B.A. Program
Part-time or full-time, you decide.
Students can choose to study part or full time. Some students with business undergraduate degrees are able to finish in one calendar year. Students who have heavy outside obligations may want to take only three or four courses a year. This is an exceptionally flexible program; you decide how quickly you want to complete the program.
Loyola's MBA Program is composed of 54 credit hours. However, students with an undergraduate degree from an AACSB-accredited business school may waive up to 15 credit hours. All of our courses are taught in the evening. This is a traditional MBA program.
This program is ideal for business undergraduates and working professionals. Work experience is preferred, but not required, to support this application and experience-based education.
We offer a variety of electives in finance, international business, general business, management, and marketing. You decide which electives are best suited for your professional development. There are three key elements to the program: business ethics, leadership, and entrepreneurship, all taught with a global perspective. Average class size is only 13 students, ensuring an interesting, interactive classroom experience.
Classes begin each fall and spring.
Program Curriculum
Foundation Courses
If you graduated from an AACSB-accredited business school in the last seven years, and you earned the grade of A or B in appropriate courses, we will consider waiving classes from the Foundation Courses. You may also elect to take a waiver exam for up to 15 hours of the Foundation Courses; there is a testing fee associated with waiver exams. Contact MBA Admissions Office to learn more.
