Program Flexibility
We are aware that acquiring an MBA degree requires a major commitment of time and effort on the student's part. Given the great value attached to the MBA degree hard work is to be expected.  The MBA degree requires the completion of at least 30 hours of graduate-level coursework for students with undergraduate business degrees.   Part-time students with undergraduate business degrees can expect to complete the program within three years.  Full-time students may complete the program within two years.

USI's MBA program is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of the working professional.  To meet the needs of our students USI provides:

• Convenient evening classes for the working professional; classes start at 6:00 PM.

• Prerequisites courses for non-business undergraduate majors.

• A summer course schedule to help expedite progress through the program.

• Flexible advising and administrative assistance.

Class Attendance
Students enrolled in course work are expected to attend all scheduled classes.  In an evening program with students typically employed full time, often in managerial positions, unavoidable business-imposed absences will occur.  Students should inform professors of the nature of such absences at the earliest practical opportunity, preferably in advance.  Students are responsible for coordination with professors to insure that any additional requirements resulting from missed classes is understood.  Students are responsible for all information and assignments of missed classes.

In cases where absences reach a frequency that, in the professor's opinion, make it unlikely that the student can realistically expect successful completion of the course withdrawal from class should be recommended.
