The Loyola MBA Experience

The Princeton Review Best Business Schools 2019

Loyola’s University Maryland’s Professional’s MBA is a part-time, self-paced program for working professionals from all academic and industry backgrounds. The Loyola MBA is tailored to meet the needs of our students. The program is flexible, and includes weekday evening courses with on-campus, hybrid, and online course options. Fall, spring, or summer start terms are available.

Our redesigned curriculum allows students to earn their MBA in 39 to 42 credits – allowing for faster time to completion and return on your investment.

Students pursuing the MBA with a General Business specialization may complete the program in 39 credits. Students seeking an MBA with one of our other seven specializations can do so in 42 credits. In addition, up to two course waiver exams (3 credits each) can be taken by admitted students. Waiver exams are offered in finance, statistics, and economics.
