The MBA Rolling Cohort program is built on a consecutive series of 7-week residential required courses taken as e-learning or classroom courses, culminating with a Capstone Project. Students take the required courses one at a time, but in an intensive fashion: the class meets 6 hours every week remotely. Upon completing one course, they continue with the next one in the series. In this way, students will take a total of three required courses during the 7-week term.

Students entering the program at the same time—the cohort—will take the same set of required courses in the same sequence. Most students will begin the program in September or January. However, students can join the program at the start of any of the 7-week courses. This is an advantage for students who may not want to wait for the beginning of the traditional term to start the program.

The program can be completed in less than two years and is offered exclusively online or at the Nashua campus.

Students complete a total of 11 courses and a Capstone Project to earn the Master of Business Administration degree. Full-time students may complete the program in two years, while part-time students will need 3 years to complete their degree, depending on the number of courses they commit to in each semester. For a detailed view of the program and course descriptions, see our course catalog.

Students in the program can choose to specialize and receive certification in Digital Marketing, Aviation, Operational Excellence, People Management, Shipping Management, or Management Information Systems. A certificate is earned by completing a specific combination of 2 electives and a specialized Capstone Project.

MBA students completing the Certificate in Digital Marketing may also pursue the internationally recognized Online Marketing Certified Associate (OMCA™) Certification. The Operational Excellence Certificate prepares students for the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM®) or the Project Management Professional (PMP®) designations of the Project Management Institute (PMI®).

The MBA offers opportunities to participate in ongoing faculty-student research projects in various business disciplines and fields. Students also have the chance to do research fieldwork in real-life business case projects. They are also provided support and guidance in pursuing their own research interests.

Students may design their Capstone project as a consultancy project for any SME or corporation or develop a research-based thesis under the supervision of a faculty member with research experience in the field.
