COVID-19 Response
In response to COVID-19, most graduate courses in the College of Business are currently offered online -- but rest assured, this is nothing new for the College of Business. We have been offering our MBA in an online format since 2002, and we haven't missed a beat.
Most of our online graduate courses will be offered in an asynchronous format, meaning you will not have to log in at a specific day and time in order to participate. You can view the details about your particular courses in the College of Business Winter 2021 Graduate Course Schedule. The College of Business Graduate Office will provide you with any updates to your course information between now and the start of the next semester.
