Students are admitted to the Part-Time MBA program as majoring in General Management, Health Sector Management, Social Impact, or Management Science. MBA students may also pursue select dual degree programs offered in conjunction with another Boston University school or college.<\/p>\n
Upon completion of the MBA program, students will be able to demonstrate:<\/strong><\/p>\n The Part-Time MBA curriculum contains 31 units of required core courses and 24 units of elective coursework. All incoming students are required to attend Part-Time MBA Orientation. <\/span><\/p>\n Please note: All<\/strong>\u00a0students are required to complete the MBA program within a six-year time frame.<\/em><\/p>\n The following courses may be used to fulfill the Action Learning Requirement:<\/p>\n Eight additional elective courses at 3 units each, or any combination of approved Questrom coursework totaling 24 units. This can include Questrom\u00a0<\/span>electives, approved graduate electives from other schools at BU, or directed studies.<\/p>\n In the cohort track, students move through the first six core curriculum courses with the same group of students, registered by their advisor. The cohort experience is only available for students entering the program in the fall term and enhances the role of teams and continuity of content between courses. Students are automatically enrolled in two courses for the fall term, three courses for the spring term, and one course during the first summer session. After the cohorted course sequence, students are responsible for registering themselves for courses.<\/p>\n Students must follow the prescribed curriculum to remain in the cohort. If a student has received an Advanced Standing Course Waiver in one of the fall cohort courses, an academic advisor will register the student for an alternative course. For waivers in subsequent term cohort courses, the student is responsible for registering for any alternative courses not in the cohort sequence.<\/p>\n Since cohorted students take five of their core courses before their electives, it is important to build a relationship with your MBA Center advisor to plan the best elective program to fit your professional goals.<\/p>\n We strongly advise that all students in the flex track follow the sequence of core courses presented on the curriculum map, <\/strong>as it promotes the program\u2019s goals. Not all core courses are offered year-round, and only a limited number of courses are offered during the summer.<\/p>\n Note<\/strong>: The two required HSM electives must be chosen from the list below. These electives can create an intensive and targeted education within any subset of the health sector.<\/p>\n *Course will count as an HSM elective if not taken as an HSM core course.<\/em><\/p>\n Three elective courses, 3 units each, or a combination of approved Questrom coursework totaling 9 units. Can include Questrom\u00a0<\/span>electives, approved graduate electives from other schools at BU, or directed studies.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n Note:<\/strong> The three Social Impact electives (9 units total) must be chosen from the list below:<\/p>\n *QST SI 852 only counts toward degree with qualifying project.<\/em><\/p>\n Some elective courses are not offered every year.<\/p>\n Four elective courses, 3 units each, or a combination of approved Questrom coursework totaling 12 units. Can include Questrom electives, approved graduate electives from other schools at BU, or directed studies.<\/p>\n Social Impact\u2013track students are required to complete a 300-hour paid internship in a public, private, or nonprofit organization. Part-Time MBA students may waive the internship requirement with applicable work experience, pending permission of the Social Impact faculty director.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n At least 31 units must be completed in residence at Questrom School of Business<\/span> and consist of the required Core, Ethics, and Executive Skills classes. Students who waive core courses are required to take an additional Questrom elective. If any Questrom course is counted toward the other degree program, students may experience greater flexibility in fulfilling degree requirements but still must meet required total degree units. Please contact your advisor for MBA requirements.<\/p>\n Dual degree candidates must fulfill the degree and residency requirements of both schools.
