Part-Time MBA

MBA in 3 Years

The University of Delaware offers a flexible and convenient part-time MBA in which you can concentrate or specialize in a specific area of interest. By leveraging the entire University, you can create a unique and focused program of study while still graduating with a universally recognized and internationally accredited UD MBA degree. As a part-time student, you’ll generally take six credits (two classes) per semester. Traditionally, part-time students have completed the program over four years, using eight “regular” (fall and spring) semesters. However, today’s students are frequently reducing their time to degree to as little as three years by incorporating “special sessions” (winter and summer) into their academic plan.

Multiple Locations

In addition to our Newark campus, all of our 10 core courses are also available at Arsht Hall on Pennsylvania Avenue (Route 52) in Wilmington, near Greenville across from the Tower Hill School.

Course Waivers

If you have obtained a bachelor’s degree from an AACSB-accredited institution within the past five years, you may be eligible for course waivers, which are based on degree earned, academic performance, and undergraduate institution. Course waivers may help you further reduce the time it takes to complete your MBA. Course waivers should be assessed upon your application to the MBA program. Please direct any questions regarding course waivers to the director of recruitment and admission.

Suggested Sequences

The suggested sequences below serve only as examples; you are encouraged to create an academic plan that best fits your individual needs. Any course waivers are subject to an in-depth review. While there are several prerequisites that must be met, we encourage you to register for electives as soon as you satisfy the prerequisites. Electives may only be offered once a year, and some electives may only be offered once every other year. The suggested sequences start in the fall semester; however, you may begin the UD MBA in fall, spring, or summer. At least one section of the 10 core courses will be available each regular (fall and spring) semester.
