Program Schedule for Management Science & Quantitative Methods

The MBA in Management Science and Quantitative Methods consists of 11 required courses (44 credits). This track is perfect for a student who is interested in building their understanding of Business analytics.

Nine of the 11 courses required for this degree are held on-campus and two are held online. Those online courses are predominately asynchronous but also require a weekly one-hour synchronous class meeting. On-campus classes are scheduled in the late afternoons and evenings. Afternoon classes begin at 3:40pm. Students who choose to complete the degree in 21-months can expect to be on-campus just two evenings a week throughout their degree.

Students can also choose to add an optional emphasis to their degree by completing two additional four-credit classes in the summer (total of 52 credits).

A unique aspect of our program is the 10-day faculty-led international experience. This is part of our BMBA 509 class and travels in January and/or Spring Break each year. Destinations change annually. The focus of this class is to experience firsthand the global nature of Business and how culture impacts commerce.

Below are sample education plans for students who would like to complete their MBA in Management Science & Quantitative Methods in 9 or 21 months. It is possible to complete your degree in 16-months or extend it past 21-months.  Note: Students who begin the program in Spring semester are not eligible for the nine month track.  These students should expect to spend at least 16 months completing the program in a full-time status.
