Traditional Calendar Format
The Traditional Calendar Format is designed for recent graduates of undergraduate programs accustomed to the traditional rhythms of the academic year or working adults who prefer to attend classes on a traditional academic calendar (fall and spring terms). This calendar option maintains between-term breaks and regular campus holidays. It offers students an opportunity to complete the MBA Program in as few as 18 months while attending evening classes at the main campus. Students may begin the program throughout the year at any of four start times. See also the MBA with a Concentration in Public Administration.
Admission policies and procedures for all graduate academic programs of Ohio Dominican University are the responsibility of the School of Graduate Studies (SGS).
