Texas A&M Professional MBA Program Structure

The Texas A&M Professional MBA program provides working professionals the opportunity to earn an MBA degree as full-time graduate students without disrupting their careers. The Professional MBA program is a 22-month program built on Texas A&M’s established MBA curriculum. Classes meet on alternating weekends, from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday evening and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday. Classes are held at the private facility at CityCentre. This is a 45-credit hour Professional MBA program that is composed of 39-credit hours in the major disciplines of business, leadership and communication, and six credit hours of electives.

Curriculum

Texas A&M Professional MBA students follow a core MBA curriculum that is centered around foundational business courses that grant students the knowledge needed to lead in business.

Students take two electives from a selection of offerings, allowing customization to fit their career goals.

Students will also complete a Capstone Project. This allows students to work with a business or organization and use their business knowledge in a real-world setting. Students will use this opportunity to identify a problem within the organization and come up with a way to address it.

During the summer between the first and second year, students are required to participate in the International Business Policy course. The course is delivered via classroom sessions along with a one-week study abroad experience.
