Full-Time MBA Programs
The Full-time Master of Business Administration (MBA) Program is offered in two tracks: the full 2-year program, beginning in September, or the accelerated 18-month option which commences in January. With an average Fall enrollment of 165 students, the Full-time MBA program is over 50 percent international. The Full-Time MBA degree requires 67 hours of study consisting of a total of 20 classes (9 core required courses and 11 electives) and an additional 3-credit course on Business Communication and Career Success. Entrants in September complete the MBA course requirements in six 10-week academic quarters with an internship in the summer between the first and second years of study. The January entrance option allows candidates to complete the full-time program in 18 months (six consecutive quarters), without engaging in an internship.
The first year of the Full-time MBA Program is divided into three quarters (Fall, Winter, and Spring), followed by a summer-long internship (not applicable for the accelerated 18-month option). During each of the first three quarters students are assigned to teams of four-to-five students. During the second year, which consists entirely of electives that allow students to focus on their preferred concentration, students form their own teams.
The Full-time MBA program leverages Simon's economics-based approach and to ensure that graduates have a fundamental understanding of the economic and managerial theory, as well as their applications in the business environment.
Simon's Part-time MBA program offers the same educational opportunities and choices for a concentration as the full-time MBA program, but through evening courses, tailored for individuals who are working while completing the degree. Students may enter the program at four different times of the year and choose the pace at which to complete their degree.
Students in the MBA program have the opportunity to graduate with one or several concentrations. Some of the major areas of study include Accounting and Information Systems, Business Environment and Public Policy, Business Systems Consulting, Competitive and Organizational Strategy, Computer and Information Systems, Corporate Accounting, Electronic Commerce, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Health Sciences Management, International Management, Marketing, Operations Management, and Public Accounting.

Famous quotes containing the words full-time and/or programs:
“Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can’t have too many friends because then you’re just not really friends.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
