FlexTime Course Sequence

As a Tepper FlexTime MBA student, you’ll find an interdisciplinary, cutting-edge curriculum. There is no substitute for excellence in teaching and reputation. Unlike other part-time MBA programs, we do not substitute one-time visitors as your instructors. You will learn from our full-time faculty who are among the leading academics in their fields of study. We believe this commitment to offering one, unified MBA is a key distinction among the choices you have for business schools in the region.

THE 1ST HALF: FOUNDATION, METHODS AND MODELS

The core begins with a solid foundation in the three fundamental disciplines – economics, the behavioral sciences and quantitative methods. Students then gain a basic understanding of marketing, finance, production, accounting and strategy.

THE 2ND HALF: INTEGRATION, APPLICATIONS AND STRATEGY

The flexibility of the curriculum gives you the opportunity to integrate what you have learned, to explore the areas in which you are interested, and to gain additional breadth across the key management areas. In their second and third years, Tepper FlexTime students are able to focus almost exclusively on elective courses of their choosing, building depth from 11 different concentration areas. Most students earn 3-4 different concentrations throughout their course of study, providing them with a strategic understanding across multiple functional areas. The elective courses also allow students to engage in a number of industry-based project courses with actual business clients to examine and to define real problems and recommend solutions. Of course, the most valuable application our FlexTime students have is being able to immediately apply concepts learned in the classroom to their current organization!

  

Due to our tradition of innovation, the MBA faculty may revise the curriculum and course offerings at any time.

*By taking extra courses, students can fulfill the degree requirements earlier than the normal schedule. In a typical year, 25–30% of FlexTime students complete their degree by late December of the third year.
