Program Duration
MBA
Students in the DeGroote MBA program complete four academic terms with the option of completing a summer job search between years 1 and 2. While most students complete the program over two academic years (as per the sequence below), students may choose to complete four consecutive academic terms and complete the program in 16 months. Students wishing to consider a 16-month sequence are strongly encouraged to speak with an Academic Advisor, as course selections in the summer term are limited.
DeGroote MBA Sequencing (20-month option)
