Nondegree Study
A nonmatriculating student is an individual enrolled in some courses who is not seeking a degree – and is often described as a “nondegree” student. If you are interested in taking some courses for personal or professional enhancement, you may enroll for up to 9 credits of study in the program’s elective courses on a space-available basis.


Academic Terms
Most students enroll part-time in the MBA program, completing two courses in the fall and spring terms, and one course in the shorter summer term. Following this pattern, the entire program can be completed in three years.

Fall term: September to December (15 weeks)
Spring term: January to May (15 weeks)
Summer term: May to July (8 weeks)
