The Loyola MBA Experience

Loyola part-time MBA received 2019 Princeton Review Best Business School

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. Our curriculum is designed for students to earn their degree in 39 credits (13 courses) – allowing for faster time to completion and return on investment. Students manage their program at their own pace and typically complete their degree in 2–3 years.

Loyola offers convenient course locations in Columbia, Timonium, as well as select courses in downtown Baltimore.

Format Options:

Blended:

Students take a blend of courses – in-person, hybrid, and online. Our dedicated program advisors work with each student to design an individualized plan – keeping specialization, pace, and preferred location in mind.

Online:

Beginning fall 2020, the Loyola MBA will be offered as a fully online program. Courses are designed and facilitated by Loyola faculty in accelerated 8-week sessions. Our approach to online learning is highlighted by small class size and a personalized student experience.

Both formats offer resources in career services, mentoring, networking, and study tour opportunities to help leverage the Loyola MBA experience and immerse yourself in the Loyola community.
