The St. Thomas Online MBA is for busy working professionals looking for a highly personalized program. Half of the curriculum, or 11 courses (22.5 credits), are core requirements. You’ll join a small cohort of MBA candidates and during the first year, and work through the core curriculum together. The other half of the curriculum- 22.5 credits, will be 8 to 15 elective courses of your choice. During the first year, you’ll complete your required coursework with a cohort of fellow MBA students. After you’ve completed your full year of core courses, you can take electives.
