The Walsh College Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a distinctive program that encompasses the study of accounting, finance, management and related disciplines. The curriculum is based upon the foundation courses found in all MBA programs, demonstrating how each area is integrated into a successful business operation. The Walsh MBA also provides the opportunity to specialize in one area by taking four elective courses in topics of particular relevance to individual interests and career goals.

Opportunities for Employment
The Walsh MBA degree is uniquely flexible. As a result, MBA graduates work in a variety of industries – from banking to information technology to human resources. The opportunities for employment vary significantly. However, the Walsh MBA does deliver the skills necessary for students to move forward in their careers – whether it’s a promotion, a new job, or a total career change.

Program Format
The Walsh MBA program consists of seven foundation courses that may be taken at Walsh or excluded, depending on a student’s prior education. The program core consists of eight courses and a four course elective requirement which a student can elect to take from a number of specializations. Students may, but are not required to, focus their courses in a specialization. A total of 12 to 19 courses, totaling 36 to 57 semester credit hours are required to complete the Walsh MBA degree.

Advanced standing credit is not to exceed 12 semester credit hours, and may be awarded towards the MBA degree for equivalent, graduate course work completed at another institution; time limits may apply. A minimum of 24 credit hours must be taken in residence at Walsh College.

A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.000 must be earned while in residence – with a minimum grade of “C” (2.000) in each course counted towards graduation requirements.
