Track Two - Complete the MBA in Four or More Quarters

Forecasted ScheduleThe 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.
