Convenient schedule: With classes offered during the evenings and Saturdays, the Part-Time MBA program allows students to pursue an MBA while working full-time.
Because the curriculum emphasizes approaches and solutions to relevant business issues, students take what they learn in class and return to work with the tools for change. Also, students can shape their on-the-job concerns into classroom projects, blending both worlds in a way that benefits both the employer and student alike.
The Carlson Part-Time MBA program uses the best of theory as framework to apply the best of practice. The program attracts industry experts, as well as academic leaders who provide the latest cutting edge business theory and application, with particular insight into turning ideas into a reality that produces bottom line results.
The Carlson School's connection with the business community translates into opportunity and recognition for students. National and international companies turn to Carlson for expert advice on emerging business issues, and students benefit from the knowledge of our faculty and practitioner-partners in a stimulating, dynamic, and challenging classroom environment.
Choice of concentrations: While the program's core covers all functional areas of management, the Carlson Part-Time MBA also offers students the ability to specialize in areas of particular interest. With a wide variety of elective courses, you'll be able to explore almost any aspect of the global business world in greater depth.
