Degree Requirements Weekend MBA
The Weekend MBA Program is a structured, cohort-based, 57-credit-hour degree program that meets every other weekend and completes in 24 months. The first year of coursework (May through April of the following year) establishes a basic understanding of the functional responsibilities of an organization. These core courses lead into the Ross MAP (Multidisciplinary Action Project) experience to finish the first calendar year of this program.
The second calendar year focuses coursework in three modules of topics relevant to today’s business needs. Students complete the program in April of their second year. The chart below describes the course load of each Weekend MBA term beginning with the Spring/Summer Term.
