The LMU College of Business Administration offers 2 ways to earn your MBA.
MBA Program: Education Beyond a Degree
Whether you're looking to further your education, considering a job change or interested in career advancement, our program can help you realize your full potential with our small classes, outstanding faculty and strong academic reputation. Embracing the Jesuit ideal of "educating the whole person," our curriculum is designed to make you an engaged participant — giving you the ability to tailor your degree to meet your personal needs and professional aspirations. In addition to core business skills, graduate students receive leadership training, develop communication skills and gain practice in case analysis and ethical reasoning.
The MBA program is designed to be completed in 2 years on a part-time basis; admission is offered for fall and spring enrollment. During your first year, you complete the MBA core courses, and during the second year, you focus on your area of emphasis, elective courses and global study. Each student participates in an orientation program, 2 workshops and an international trip.
While approximately 90 percent of LMU MBA students choose to complete the program in 2 years, students requiring more flexibility have the option to extend the program to 3 years by taking a reduced course load each semester.
Classes are offered Monday to Thursday starting at 6:30 p.m. to provide students with the ability to balance work and school.
Executive MBA: Develop Your Leadership Intelligence
Designed for mid-career executives, the LMU Executive MBA addresses management and leadership within a broad spectrum of organizations, teaching you how to understand core business principles, develop your leadership intelligence, apply your knowledge and learn to execute. Our curriculum uses actual business settings and case studies as a way to cement classroom concepts into practical, real-world applications.

The LMU EMBA program is structured as a cohort and offers a modular curriculum in an executive setting.

Class is delivered in a hybrid format — 2 Saturdays a month on-campus and 1 Saturday a month online. There are 4 modules (fall, spring, fall, spring) and a summer session between year 1 and 2. The program includes a pre-program orientation residential, a year 1 domestic trip and a year 2 international trip.
