32-CREDIT MBA Program Scheduling:  Scheduling courses over 16-week semesters is accomplished by breaking each semester into 10-week and five-week components. The 32-hour MBA consists primarily of two-credit and one-credit courses. The two-credit courses are usually delivered two days each week in the daytime program and one evening each week for ten weeks in the off-campus program (either on Tuesday or Thursday). The one-credit  courses are delivered in five-week sections, one evening each week over five weeks, or alternatively, over a long weekend (Friday afternoon, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning). 

There is a one-week fall break for MBA students scheduled during Thanksgiving week (no MBA classes will be held that week).
