FAQs

How many units are required?

The MBAJ Program may be completed in as few as 30 units as compared to 52 units required for the standard MBA.

Are all BSM students eligible for the program?

Content mastery is demonstrated by having earned grades of “B” or better in each BSM course to be applied toward waiving the corresponding content at the MBA level. Students not having achieved the minimum “B” grade in the applicable BSM coursework will be required to complete the equivalent MBA-level course in addition to the standard MBAJ course/unit requirements.

How many units do I take per term?

As the MBAJ Program is designed for working professionals, students are typically limited to 10 units of coursework per trimester. This limit pertains to students in good standing; additional unit restrictions may apply to students on academic probation.

Is there a global requirement?

All MBAJ students must complete at least 2 units of global business course work by satisfying one of the following options:

  1. A one-week, 2-unit Global Business Intensive course hosted by partner schools abroad, led by a Graziadio School faculty member.
  2. One trimester Study Abroad at a global partner business school. 
  3. Summer school opportunities at a global partner business school.
