Part-Time MBA Curriculum

Our innovative curriculum was designed specifically to accelerate your progress through this highly ranked AACSB accredited MBA program. We do it by integrating courses, identifying key skills and concepts necessary for success in business and then helping you to master these skills and concepts through class discussions, case studies, guest lectures, and projects. Students may choose to complete their degree program at either our main campus in Durham or our urban campus in Manchester.

Throughout the program, you will be exposed to the knowledge that builds insight into complex organizations. Core courses will focus on the functional areas of business, how they interact, how they contribute the goals and objectives of the organization, and how they can be managed effectively. You will learn the behavioral and social skills that empower effective leaders in any organization, as well as the technical skills necessary to understand complex business processes, manage the development of technology projects, and utilize data for effective decision making.
