MBA Part-Time Studies

The MBA program is also offered on a part-time basis for students who wish to complete MBA studies while maintaining full-time employment. It can be completed within thirty-six (36) consecutive months but students may fulfill the degree requirements in up to a maximum of five (5) years. Please note that students are not permitted to drop compulsory courses. Moreover, students may choose to accelerate their studies by participating in the intensive International Summer Exchange Program in Europe. Part-time students may register to a maximum of six (6) credits per session.

N.B. Normally courses start the third week of August with an intensive weekend (Friday night, Saturday and Sunday during the day) as well as evening courses the following week, all of which are compulsory. In addition, due to the nature of certain courses and availability of resources, some classes are scheduled occasionally on Friday night, Saturday and/or Sunday.

Required Courses

Whether you choose the part-time MBA (Campus) or the part-time MBA (Exchange) option, your studies will begin in the Fall session with a solid core allowing students to understand management foundations and the global business environment, to developing a strategic perspective and to integrate business functions. Additional credits among elective courses are to be completed in order to acquire the knowledge and skills required to effectively manage in an information-intensive global economy, and to provide value to the business community. During the first sixteen (16) months, as of fall 2008, part-time students are required to complete the core courses according to the following schedule:
