The Merage School Full-Time MBA curriculum was strategically updated to ensure our students are equipped with the knowledge and skills to succeed as adept and agile leaders in the digitally driven world. Woven throughout the program are the key components of business growth -- strategic innovation, information technology, analytic decision-making, and collaborative execution -- taught through the latest research insights, real world projects and industry case studies. Our program allows you the freedom to customize your MBA; most of the core curriculum is completed in the first year giving you a solid foundation in all of the business disciplines. During the second year, you will have the flexibility to pursue your passion by delving deeper into a particular area of study or choosing electives across several different areas. You’ll also have the latitude to work a nearly full-time job or internship during this period. Throughout the two-year program is Career Launch, our unique series focused on preparing you for life-long career resiliency.

“I really enjoy the flexibility the Merage School MBA program offers. I can pursue elective courses outside of my main area of focus. This gives me a much fuller, more well-rounded education; one that is perfectly suited to my own unique interests and needs.”
