Part II. My Plan of Action (from Start to Graduation)
What courses should I take and when?
HOW IS THE UNION MBA PROGRAM SETUP?
Our courses are offered one night a week in eight-week formats in Memphis, Jackson, and Online (asynchronous — on your own schedule). You, the student, are in control where you want to take a course(s) each term. Our course schedule is divided into five terms a year:
- Fall Term 1: August (mid)
- Fall Term 2: October (mid)
- Spring Term 1: January (late)
- Spring Term 2: March (late)
- Summer Term: May (late)
There are twelve courses in the Union MBA program. To complete the program you must pass eight core course and four elective courses (of your choosing).
Most important formula for you to remember:
8 Core + 4 Electives = 12 Courses = Union MBA Graduate
What courses do I have to take if I do not have a business degree?
If you do not posses a business degree, you will have to complete an additional pre-requisite course Graduate Business Foundations. This eight-week course will bring you up to speed in accounting, economics, management, and business statistics and get you equipped to be successful in all MBA courses.
