The
OCOB offers a 60-64 unit daytime MBA program, consisting of 36-units
of required courses with the remaining 24-28 elective units selected
from a focused group of advanced courses.
Track Two requires four, five or six regular academic quarters
to complete the program depending on how students structure and
schedule their coursework. Note: students will not
be allowed to take more than 16 maximum units per quarter.
As illustrative examples, under this track and a 60-64 unit program,
a student might:
- Take 16 units during regular Fall, Winter and Spring quarters,
then return the following year and take the remaining 12 units
(one course each quarter).
- Take 12 units during the regular Fall, Winter and Spring quarters,
then return the following year and take the remaining 24 units
(two courses each quarter).
- Take both of the four unit elective courses offered during the
initial short intensive special summer session, then proceed to
take 16 units during Fall, Winter and Spring quarters, and then
wrap up the program by taking 4 units during the next year's regular
Fall quarter.
- Take 16 units during Fall, Winter and Spring quarters, take
the four unit China study tour during the latter short intensive
summer session, then wrap up the program the following year by
taking 4 units of coursework Fall and Winter quarters.
Advantages
- Flexibility
Track Two provides students with scheduling flexibility by allowing
them to spread out their studies over a longer period of time.
This may in turn open up part-time employment opportunities or
allow for more involvement in university and student club activities.
Other Factors to Consider
- Cost
For some students Track Two will mean additional tuition for the
extra quarter(s) of study, books, room and board, entertainment
and lost income from not being in the work force on a full-time
basis, etc.
- Course Scheduling
Due to the structured nature of the program, all courses are offered
only once per year. Required courses will remain
consistent from year to year. However, it is possible that elective
courses may not be offered at the desired level or volume, depending
on how the student designs/schedules their course work.
