Curriculum
Our 49-credit-hour MBA curriculum is rigorous and comprehensive - allowing you to earn your MBA degree in just 16 months. The MBA curriculum includes core courses that will prepare you to lead your organization, and our flexible degree options allow you to customize the program to meet your needs.
In order to condense our MBA curriculum to 16 months, our students attend classes in three terms during their first year of study. Students take 12 credit hours in each term, and complete 36 credit hours during the first year – 50 percent more than students at most other MBA programs. This gives you a competitive advantage when pursuing internship opportunities, and allows you to add greater value to your organization during your internship than your counterparts from other institutions.
If you choose to extend your studies to specialize in an area of interest, you can take advantage of the vast resources and diverse academic course options available at Texas A&M University — one of the nation’s largest universities.
