The MBA program is designed for individuals who wish to advance their careers or for those students who want to begin a career in business. The program employs a collaborative, applied concepts approach to learning regardless of the program delivery. Each course has a strong ethics component, real-time skills, and projects relevant to students’ professions. 
Faculty who have extensive experience in business and management infuse the classroom with a dynamic, hands-on approach to real-world problem solving. The global environment, the technological environment, and the ethical dimensions of managerial decisions pervade the MBA program. 

Program Options
The Van Loan School of Graduate and Professional Studies offers the MBA degree in two different options: 

The MBA for the Experienced Professional
This option is a part-time program for working professionals. The program is comprised of 42 credits, with the option of classroom, online, or a combination of both. Classroom courses usually meet in the evening, 6:00-10:00 pm, one night a week. Online courses are delivered in an asynchronous format.

The Full Time MBA
This option is a nine-month, daytime, full-time course of study designed for those who have just completed a Bachelor degree. This is a 36-credit program that may have certain prerequisites for some students. The full-time MBA program utilizes the cohort learning model where a group of students enter the program together, progress through as a cohesive group, and complete the program at the same time. Peer exchange and practical application are central themes of this model. Faculty who have extensive experience in business and management infuse the classroom with a dynamic, hands on approach to real world problem solving. The global environment, the technological environment and the ethical dimensions of managerial decisions pervade the MBA program. 

Full Time, Intensive MBA

Endicott offers a full-time, nine month intensive program option for those individuals who wish to pursue their studies immediately upon graduation. Classes are held in the mornings.
Full-time study in the MBA program is offered to students of any undergraduate major. Degree requirements and curriculum content including prerequisites may be required depending on the student’s prior education and experience.

Note: Up to 24 credits of the listed prerequisites may be waived if the student can demonstrate completion of the prerequisite courses or equivalent, with a minimum grade point average of 3.0 at the undergraduate level through an official transcript or with permission from the MBA program director.
