Part-Time MBA Programs

For students wishing to complete their MBA but unable to commit to a full-time study schedule, a part-time program is an ideal alternative.

The Blended Learning Part-time MBA launched in September 2018. Admission into the Part-time MBA Program was discontinued in 2017.  Part-time students generally may take up
to 6 units of course work per term, with the exception of Terms 8 and 9 in the Blended Learning Part-time Program.

Students with a Bachelor of Commerce degree may complete an Accelerated MBA Program on a full-time or part-time basis. Please refer to the Accelerated MBA Program section for additional
detail.
