The Tobin College of Business provides advanced programs that cover the full spectrum of business disciplines including Master of Business Administration, Master of Science and Advanced Professional Certificates programs in multiple business fields.

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program provides an innovative approach to combining in-class and experiential learning. The degree requires the completion of 36 to 54 credits depending on the student’s previous coursework. 

The Master of Science (MS) programs are designed to meet personal career objectives in a specific discipline with fewer broad overview courses. These rigorous programs require 30 to 36 credit hours depending on the program and prior academic preparation. 

Individual plans of study are developed for each student in consultation with advisors and faculty in the College. The MBA and MS programs may be completed on either a part-time or full-time basis, and includes study in core, specialization courses and elective courses.

Advanced Professional Certificates (APC) are available to individuals who have completed the M.B.A. degree and are designed to enable these students to accrue additional knowledge or skills in another field or update and enhance skills in their current field. A minimum of 18 credits are required for completion of the APC. Students interested in accounting may need up to 33 credits.
