Marquette University's online MBA is a flexible format of fully-online courses offered fall, spring and summer. Same great faculty, same curriculum, with more convenient delivery.

The total program is 31.5 - 42 credit hours depending upon a student’s undergraduate background. Students with an undergraduate degree in business will take a slightly different path the first two terms. Students can join the program at any term (i.e., fall, spring or summer).  

The admissions standards and process are the same for the Marquette online MBA as it is for our traditional MBA program. We do not require work experience, but it is highly recommended that students have at least a couple of years of experience to fully appreciate the applied nature of the program.
