About the Program
The Fox School of Business and Management has redefined graduate business education through the development of the Fox MBA. The program prepares individuals to assume leadership roles in the corporate world as well as government and non-governmental organizations. We transform our students into responsible professionals and leaders through engagement with Fox communities committed to lifelong learning, service and the advancement of management practice.
The Fox MBA is available in three options:
- The Full-Time MBA, a two-year program, is designed for professionals with at least two years of work experience who seek career mobility and enhancement.
- The Part-Time MBA provides management education to working professionals on a part-time basis. It can be completed in a more flexible option in a minimum of two to a maximum of six years, although the average time to completion is three years. It is designed for working professionals who want to advance within their organization or to change careers.
- The Online MBA is delivered online, with only one week-long opening residency required. Professionals seeking the rigor of a traditional MBA with the flexibility of online learning can complete the program in 24 months.

Additional Requirements:
MBA candidates are required to complete three academic development and three professional development workshops. Workshops are delivered through a variety of modalities to meet the demands of the busy working professional. Workshops change each academic term based on market and employer demands. Examples of academic workshops include, but are not limited to, "Big Data," "Data Visualization," "Design Inquiry," and "Making the Most of Infographics." Examples of professional development workshops include, but are not limited to, "Communicating to the Point," "Creating and Delivering High-Impact Presentations," "Great on the Job," "Lunch/Coffee with Leaders," and "Personal Branding." Program administration tracks student completion as students are not permitted to register for their capstone course unless all professional development requirements have been met.
For Full-Time MBA Students:
Full-time MBA candidates are required to complete a non-credit internship to better prepare them for the post-MBA job market. This added employment experience provides students with real-world experience in their area of interest, creates the opportunity to extend professional networks, and ultimately better positions full-time MBA candidates in their job search. Internships are expected to be a minimum of 400 hours and not to exceed a maximum of 1,000 hours during the Full-time MBA program of study.
For Online MBA Students:
Online MBA candidates are required to participate in a one-week on-campus residency. Residency includes networking, professional development and the first course of the program.
