Who is qualified?
The curriculum is the same as the Evening MBA program, however, admissions requirements are slightly different. In addition to fulfilling the materials required of all MBA applicants (GMAT scores, official transcripts, etc), MBA-PACE students commit to participating in a monthly academic success program for the first two quarters of their program.
How long will it take?
After completing the coursework and academic success program over the initial two quarters, students can expect to complete the program in another year to three years. Classes meet evenings, Monday through Thursday, in two sessions: 5:45 and 7:20 PM
