Our program has been meticulously designed to accommodate the time demands faced by fully-employed students, ensuring that you have the flexibility to choose the learning format that best suits your needs. Course schedules are thoughtfully structured for the working professional, allowing students to attend classes on Wednesday evenings and Saturdays. Whether you prefer the camaraderie of in-person learning or the convenience of remote education, our program has been tailored to meet your requirements.

Our program spans five consecutive terms, designed for completion within 18 months, starting in the Summer of 2024. This means that students entering in Summer 2023 will complete the program by Fall 2025, giving you the opportunity to rapidly enhance your career prospects. However, if additional time is needed to earn the degree, we provide the flexibility to accommodate your schedule.

We are thrilled to announce that, starting this summer, we have introduced a fully online option for our program, allowing you to earn your MBA at your own pace and from anywhere in the world. This new addition provides you with even more flexibility to balance your work commitments and educational aspirations. Our commitment to accommodating the needs of fully-employed students extends to both in-person and fully online learners.

At California State University San Marcos, we understand that your journey towards an MBA is a significant investment in your future.
