On average, we expect students to earn their MBA within 2 years if you take 2 classes every 8 weeks. You can take up to 6 years to complete your degree.

Graduate students are eligible for financial aid, in two forms: Student loans and graduate assistantships. For more information on student loans, visit the Office of Financial Aid's webpage.

For more information about graduate assistantships, visit the Graduate Studies webpage.

Yes, graduate assistantships are available to all students in graduate courses (such as MBA courses) who qualify to work in the United States and reside in Minnesota. More information about graduate assistantships can be found on the College of Graduate Studies and Research website.

We do not give preference to any particular undergraduate majors. However, we do require prerequisite foundation courses for those without an undergraduate degree in business. A student must demonstrate competency in the areas of accounting, economics, business statistics, and finance. The competency can be demonstrated either of two ways:

1) Through prior completion of the following undergraduate courses:

  • ACCT 200 – Financial Accounting
  • ECON 202 – Principles of Microeconomics
  • ECON 207 – Business Statistics
  • FINA 362 – Business Finance

2) Deficiencies can be completed online in a self-paced, reduced-price format through our Fastrac program. Each course costs between $130-$170. Contact Bobbi Urban for more information of Fastrac.

Any undergraduate deficiencies will be specified at the time of application. You may still be admitted to the MBA program and begin coursework with deficiences.
