MBA Curriculum

The MBA curriculum consists of 39 credits which includes 13 three-credit courses. Classes are held Monday through Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 8:45 and meet once a week during the fall and spring semesters (more often during summer sessions). Program length will typically be 2 1/2 to 3 years based on a course load of two classes per semester (course loads may vary).

The curriculum is divided into two components: core courses (33 credits) and concentration courses (6 credits). Core courses cover the complete range of business disciplines and serve as the general management foundation for the program.  Concentration courses provide added depth and relevance in specific areas of emphasis that connect to student career goals and professional interests.

Prerequisite Course for Non Business Majors - Business 500

One of the most popular aspects of the program is Wingate's unique one-semester prerequisite course (Business 500) offered each fall for professionals with non-business backgrounds or who require some or all of the business prerequisites. This fast track prep course satisfies all of the prerequisites for the MBA degree and facilitates rapid entry into the program. Students may choose to take the entire course or only the individual course sessions needed on a pro-rated basis. Click here for more details. Click here for a Business 500 Fall '09 schedule.
