How Long is Each MBA Course?

Duration of Master's in Business Administration Courses

The online MBA courses at Marist are delivered 8-week accelerated cycles. In an effort to maximize flexibility, Marist has implemented 8-week accelerated cycles, that allows students to complete 3 credits in the first half of the Fall or Spring semester, and another 3 credits during the second half of the semester.  There is also one 8-week round over the summer. This format allows students to complete 15 credits per year, by taking one course at a time.  This is designed to help working professionals and students with families better manage the various demands in their lives. Each course in the MBA program is 3 credits.

Students interested in creating a schedule that suits their needs should consult their academic advisor. MBA students can begin courses in September or January depending on their preference and personal needs.
