Mississippi University for Women

What you'll study

Course load is flexible: students may take up to four courses (12 credit hours) per semester to finish quickly, or 1–2 courses (3–6 credit hours) per semester to progress at a slower pace. The MBA provides broad business knowledge intended to be applicable across many occupations.

Entry requirements

Students who did not earn an undergraduate degree in business must complete a set of prerequisite courses to learn foundational business concepts before or while in the MBA. Those prerequisite courses are offered online each semester, including summer. The program accepts students from varied undergraduate disciplines.

Career prospects

The MBA is presented as a versatile credential that equips graduates with business skills useful in nearly any field. It can serve as a pathway for professionals from areas such as music, legal studies, psychology, political science, engineering and others to add business capabilities and pursue new roles.

Scholarships & funding angle (general)

Prospective students should investigate institutional and external funding options available to graduate students. Because the program accommodates part-time study and summer terms, financing plans that align with a slower course load or employer tuition assistance may be practical approaches.
