The Professional MBA is unique in its delivery approach, utilizing a blended delivery curriculum, employing:

• traditional course instruction using interactive television,
• project-based courses that integrate Web-based instruction,
• residency periods that bring all cohort members together at one location.

A COHORT-TYPE PROGRAM
The program is completed by a cohort of students--a group who begin course work together and progress through the program, taking the same courses at the same time. The advantage to this type of program for a student is that you're guaranteed the classes you need when you need them to assure you will graduate on time. Everyone in a cohort completes the same course work regardless of prior academic study or certification.

LENGTH OF PROGRAM
Coursework is offered over a period of five (5) academic semesters.

CLASS MEETING AND STUDY EXPECTATIONS
There are three types of class meetings, all complemented and supported by a Web-based learning platform. The following schedule is for the Central Ohio cohort, which begins in January 2010.

On average students need to plan for roughly 20 hours per week of out-of-class study time. Of course, this varies from quarter to quarter depending on an individuals's prior education.
