Texas Southern MBA (Full-Time/Part-Time) Program Structure

The Texas Southern MBA program provides a general management education to students who are looking to advance their current careers in business management. Students are admitted to the MBA program in the fall or summer semester. The program consists of 36 credit hours. These hours consist of core (30 credit hours) and elective classes (6 credit hours), completed over a two-year period for the full-time program. Part-time program students can complete their MBA degree over a flexible amount of time, depending on their availability to complete courses. All students complete courses over the fall, spring, and summer semesters.

Curriculum

Students have the option to either complete the general MBA program, which provides a solid management curriculum, or pursue an MBA with a concentration in Health Care Administration, Accounting or Management Information Systems. All programs require students to complete the same core curriculum that provides the fundamental knowledge required for success in the business management field. The other hours of coursework consist of electives that students can choose to tailor towards their interests and career goals.

Students who are pursuing a concentration in Health Care Administration must complete the final six academic hours in the Health Care Administration field. These courses are taught in conjunction with the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences at Texas Southern University. Those students who are pursuing a concentration in Accounting or Management Information Systems must complete the required MBA curriculum requirements and the concentration required courses.

The Management Information Systems concentration also offers students a more detailed curriculum in the concentration by following either the Business Intelligence Track or the E-Commerce Track.
