Part-Time Graduate Students

Often cited as a minimum requirement for higher management positions, our graduate business programs are designed for high achievers who want to take control of their careers. Saunders College of Business provides many degree options and flexible schedules to help you accomplish your career goals on your terms.

Get Ahead in Your Career

Our Masters programs allow you to focus specifically on business disciplines you are targeting. These specialized degrees allow you to focus on a specific area of courses that concentrate on a business function you are looking to develop. In addition to day-time course schedules most courses are offered at night while many of our most popular courses are also available online. Plus, summer term schedules offer 6-week intensive and 12-week options so you can schedule around your summer plans.

Students pursuing an MBA program can finish their degree in as little as 2.5 years (8 semesters), taking 2 courses every semester. Similarly, students taking an MS program or those that qualify for the Accelerate 4+1 MBA, may be able to finish their program in as little as 1.5 years (5 semesters).
