PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

Requirements for Degree

Curriculum:

All entering MBA students are required to be enrolled in the management core classes during the first three semesters (three 15-week semesters) of study. The Marriott School MBA program follows a strict lockstep format wherein first-year students enter the program in the fall, then take all their core classes along with a variety of elective courses to fulfill their chosen track. Because of the intensity of the courses and the number of hours spent in group work outside the classroom, students cannot work during the first year of the program.
