The MBA

The MBA degree requires that students complete 57 credit hours. Erb students can double-count 12 hours of Rackham/SNRE credit toward the MBA degree, thus reducing their MBA degree requirements from 57 to 45 credit hours. Specific course requirements include the “MBA Core Curriculum", which establishes a basic understanding of the functional responsibilities of an organization. In addition, all students must complete one of the approved Business Law or Ethics courses and fulfill the MBA communication requirement at some point in the MBA program. The MBA curriculum offers both six and 14-week courses.
