IntroductionThe Master of Business Administration degree programs at Xavier University develop advanced business and personal skills in a manner that accommodates the demanding schedules and needs of today’s working professionals.

The Xavier MBA is delivered in five formats: evenings, weekends, full-time, executive and off-site. Most students in the evening program attend part time and complete their degree in two to three years. Weekend MBA students finish in two years. The Executive MBA is for upper-level management professionals only and finishes in 19 months. Off-site students follow a two-year accelerated, cohort structure.

Xavier’s part-time MBA program was ranked 14th best in the nation by U.S. News & World Report for 2010. The Princeton Review includes the Williams College of Business among “The Best Business Schools” for 2010 and 2011. The Xavier MBA program is accredited by AACSB—The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

WORKING PROFESSIONAL EVENING MBA

The Evening MBA program is an educational experience hallmarked by academic rigor in a curriculum interwoven with current business issues and research, beyond-the-classroom professor interaction, unparalleled student services and a Jesuit tradition of excellence in education spanning 450 years.

Designed to maximize the time and commitment of the working professional or full-time student, the Evening MBA offers convenience and responsiveness to the scheduling and educational needs of students. Courses, taught by full professors active in the business community and scholarship, are offered for two or three credit hours. Three-credit-hour courses meet for 16 weeks, while two-credit-hour courses meet for half the academic term, allowing students maximum flexibility in scheduling. An accelerated full-course schedule runs in the summer term as well.

The number of credit hours required to complete the program varies from a minimum of 36 hours to a maximum of 59 hours, depending on the number of foundation skills courses needed and the concentration chosen.

WEEKEND MBA

Designed for students unable to take classes during the week, the Weekend MBA program offers the excellence of the MBA curriculum with the opportunity to earn the 36 hours of the core curriculum (600-level courses only) by taking courses on Saturdays for six consecutive semesters.

Students in this program receive an MBA degree in two years. Admission to the weekend program is limited, with approximately 30 students chosen for admission each fall. Students participate in a cohort structure and attend classes only once a week. The weekend program requires that all foundation skills courses (500-level) are completed before admission. Those needing foundation skills courses may take them as part of the Evening MBA program or can have them waived by undergraduate academic credit or examination.

The Weekend MBA program starts once each year in the fall semester. Saturday morning and afternoon classes are offered. Students follow an established curriculum of 12 courses offered sequentially.

MOMENTUM MBA

This one-year, full-time program takes students directly from undergraduate studies to an MBA. The Momentum MBA starts six times a year. Students can begin taking classes in January, March, May, July, August and October. Courses take place Monday through Thursday, staring at 6:00 p.m., and on Saturdays in the morning and afternoon. Select MBA classes also are offered online.

OFF-SITE MBA: DEERFIELD, WEST CHESTER AND NORTHERN KENTUCKY

MONEY MATTERS

“The impact of my trip to China as part of the Xavier MBA International Study Trip program was life changing and by far, the best part of my formal education. The trip was well orchestrated with the perfect mix of historic, cultural, business and entertainment experiences—all of which provided an amazingly rich insight into real-life in China that far surpassed my expectations. Everyone should have an opportunity to experience and learn from other cultures and the international study program is well suited to provide these experiences and more.”
