Naveen Jindal School of Management – University of Texas at Dallas - Professional MBA

UT Dallas Professional MBA Program Structure

The UT Dallas Professional MBA program at the Naveen Jindal School of Business is offered in three different formats. The options include Evening Cohort, Flex and Online.

The Evening Cohort option can be completed in 24 months. This format allows working professionals to take the 30 required classes together, giving them the opportunity to practice working as a team and giving them networking opportunities. The Flex program lets students finish their degree on their own schedule. They can begin in the fall, spring, or summer. Courses are offered online and on campus, and students can choose where and when they will take their courses, as well as how many courses they will take at a time. The Online MBA operates similarly to the Flex MBA, though not all electives and concentrations can be taken online, limiting some of the options available to fully online students.

The Flex and Online MBA programs allow students to work full-time while completing their MBA, and most of them do. A part-time schedule consists of taking two classes each semester, and classes are usually offered Monday-Friday from 4 to 10 p.m.

Curriculum at the UT Dallas Professional MBA

All formats of the UT Dallas Professional MBA program follow a 53-credit curriculum. All students must complete the 32 credits of core classes and 21 credits of elective courses.
