Master of Business Administration
St. Thomas Aquinas College offers a dynamic M.B.A. program for busy students to earn their M.B.A. primarily on the weekends -- with some weeknight offerings and a blend of online courses.
For students with the right undergraduate major, the M.B.A. can be earned with as few as 33 graduate credits and the 57 credit degree can be done in as short as one year. For students who don't have the undergraduate course waivers for the graduate level work, the 57 credit program can be done in 2-3 years of part time study.
Classes meet on a quarterly basis. Students can enroll in a Friday night course -- or a Saturday morning course -- or a Sunday morning course -- or all three and take 9 credits in the quarterly program.
