FLEXIBLE RELEVANCE
Classes are held Monday through Thursday from 7:00-10:00 p.m., and occasional Saturdays. Students typically take two courses per semester and typically complete MBA coursework in about 2 years. Students without an undergraduate degree in business or a GCBA must complete 15 units of foundation-level classes. Completion times range from two years to five years, as students reduce or accelerate their academic load commensurate with career and family demands. Elective offerings focus on providing relevant topics that help differentiate a student in their workplace and add career value.
GCBA
In the Graduate Certificate of Business Administration program, students who do not have an undergraduate in business, master essential business skills in a one-year, part-time evening, and Saturday cohort program. The GMAT is not required for admission to the GCBA program. Some GCBA students choose to enter the Nazarian MBA program, while others meet their business-skills and knowledge goals with the certificate program alone. The GCBA may be particularly attractive for individuals who have been away from academia for awhile and want to acquire foundation skills in business.
