The curriculum and classroom experiences in the Kelley Evening MBA Program are a blend of online and in-person learning, allowing students to gain a high-quality degree that leaves room for work and personal commitments. You can complete a general administration degree or choose one of four majors: finance, management and entrepreneurship, marketing or supply chain management. Dual degrees are also available for combining your MBA with one of six other graduate degrees.

24 months. It is a part-time MBA program designed to be completed while you work full time (or while you pursue another graduate degree as part of an approved dual degree program).
A typical course load for Evening MBA students is between 6.0 to 7.5 credit hours (or two to two-and-a-half courses) per academic quarter.
During the first year of our two-year program, you’ll take core, required courses. You'll typically have class twice a week: one night per week on campus and one night per week online. Our students enjoy this "hybrid model" because it allows them to build face-to-face relationships with professors and peers while affording them the convenience of online learning.
In year two of the program, you'll take mostly elective courses. Your schedule will depend on which courses you choose. Most electives meet in person, so you may have up to two nights of class on campus each week, depending on your schedule that quarter.
Most Evening MBA classes meet from 6 to 8:45 p.m.
The Evening MBA uses a cohort structure. Twice a year in August and November, we admit a cohort of 50–70 new students, ambitious professionals who take the same core classes together at the same time. Our students tell us they frequently learn as much from other students as from their professors; this peer learning model is integral to the program.
For this reason, we strongly discourage you from applying to or enrolling in the program unless you’re prepared to complete the coursework schedule as planned for the full 24 months. Our curriculum and schedule require your commitment — but we promise it’ll be worth it.
Of course, we understand that life happens. If your circumstances change after beginning the program, and it’s no longer possible for you to complete the coursework as scheduled, we’ll work with you. However, prospective students should not enter the program with this expectation.
