Degree RequirementsThe MBA program requires a minimum of 36 graduate credit hours. Since most students in the program will be part-time students, classes will be offered late afternoons, evenings and on weekends. Part-time students are expected to complete no more than two courses per semester. The MBA program offers six academic semesters, including a fall, winter, spring, and three summer sessions. Full-time students, not requiring prerequisite coursework, can complete the program in 14 months if they begin their studies in the first summer session. These students are expected to complete no more than four courses per semester. Thus, the time required to complete the program could be as short as 14 months or as long as five years. All grades of incomplete must be satisfied prior to graduation. REQUIRED RELATED COURSESAt the discretion of the MBA director, students may be required to use some of their free electives to satisfy any academic deficiencies. DEGREE CANDIDACYAn evaluation of the student's performance in course work will determine admission to degree candidacy. A student must initiate the degree candidacy process with the MBA director upon successful completion of 12 s.h. of departmentally approved graduate course work with an overall B average. This course work should include at least 9 s.h. at Millersville University.
