How Long Does It Take to Get an MBA?

MBA Requirements
The MBA in Business Management is a 36-credit program which consists of:
27 credits of required core courses*
9 credits of open electives or a selected concentration
Students may also declare a 45-credit Dual Concentration by completing the courses for two concentrations.
MBA candidates can also take advantage of the King Graduate School’s Professional Experience Track for students who want to supplement their academic work with practical experience. In addition to their required courses, Professional Track candidates complete two (2) one-credit internships.
The King Graduate Schoolalso offers both online and hybrid programs for students who would benefit from the flexibility of remote learning.
*Depending on their prior education, some MBA students may be required to take a foundation course in Accounting, Business, Management & Marketing, Economics, Health Care, Information Technology, and/or Finance.
In this capstone course students engage in a global, competition-based strategy simulation that is delivered online. Students are divided into teams and assigned to run a company that competes head-to-head against companies run by other class students. The final project of the course includes the presentation of a business plan, a practicum, or a research project.
