Graduate Executive Programs
The Graduate Executive Programs comprise the Executive MBA, the Physicians Executive MBA, and the Masters of Real Estate Development Executive programs. These programs are designed to be taken as a cohort with one start in the Fall of each year, an exact sequence of courses taken each term and with graduation in the Spring – five semesters later.
Non-Standard Calendar
Due to the hybrid nature of these Graduate Executive programs, which use a format that combines on-campus residency with online learning, the residencies typically occur during breaks on campus. See the relevant program website for the exact calendar dates per term for each executive program.
Full-Time Credit Hour Requirements
- Students in the Graduate Executive Programs are restricted to the exact courses which are offered to that cohort in any one semester.
- The course load varies from term to term – from a minimum of 5 hours to a maximum of 9 hours.
- The course load is thus considered to be full time as they cannot take more hours or less as they follow the mandated and approved curriculum.
Tuition Costs Excluded VA Benefit Coverage
VA benefits will not cover costs for lodging, meals, travel, books, supplies or memberships to organizations. As many of these costs are included in the Graduate Executive Programs’ tuition, those costs have been broken out and will be billed separately. See the relevant program website for the exact amounts per term.
