Loyola鈥檚 鈥渟mall, flexible MBA program鈥 鈥渞eally caters to each and every student,鈥 a fact appreciated by the predominantly part-time student body in the College of Business鈥 graduate programs. MBAs here also love the 鈥淛esuit tradition,鈥 which encourages 鈥渋nvolvement in the New Orleans community.鈥 鈥淚 appreciate being at a place that not only educates my mind, but gives me social awareness as well,鈥 one student writes.
Loyola offers a general 鈥減rofessional鈥 MBA as well as a 鈥渇ast-track鈥 MBA designed to be completed within one year. Furthermore, the MBA program offers specialization tracks allowing students to select three elective courses in a specific concentration including: Finance, Entrepreneurship, Marketing, and Operations. The MBA culminates in a Capstone Consulting Project where students are required to conduct research and produce an in-depth report of a company applying all major topics covered in all required courses taken throughout the student鈥檚 tenure in the MBA program.
Both programs are comprised of 40 credit hours; 12 (3 credit hour) courses separated by 4 (1 credit hour) immersion weeks that offer more intensive seminars on topics vital to an MBA program such as orientation and launch, venture and start-up entrepreneurship, career development, and ethics and social justice.
