Curriculum
The 45-credit Loyola University full-time MBA program includes required courses, electives, and experiential learning. The program builds on the academic talents of its students and introduces them to a wide range of learning environments, including an international study tour, internships, consulting projects, business plan development, and live cases.
At the Residency, or opening orientation, students are introduced to the curriculum, their cohort, and the staff. Students are housed together at a hotel near the campus and participate in various workshops including team building, career strength assessment, strategic management, and case simulation.

Each semester, students participate in a one-credit active learning course where they participate in: tours and overviews of businesses, leadership development workshops and coaching, networking opportunities, team building, panel discussions with alumni and other professionals from the Baltimore and DC metro area, career development, live cases, service opportunities, and self-reflections.
Students are required to complete an internship in a field aligned with their career goals. Students are also given the option to participate in an international or domestic field study. Previous international study destinations have included Beijing and Shanghai in China.
