Business Administration (Full-Time MBA)
More Program Options
Our unique Full-Time MBA program fuses rigorous academics with meaningful business experience, creating a synergy that will define your time inside and outside of the classroom. In just 24 months, you’ll gain the vital knowledge, skills, and expertise you need to accelerate your career.
Your 55-credit program begins with one semester of MBA foundation courses and career management classes. You’ll complete this rigorous coursework as part of an intimate full-time MBA cohort. Together, you and your classmates will establish deep personal and professional connections, ensuring the learning spills out of the classroom and your network grows strong.
In your second term, your concentration and elective courses begin. Ultimately, the first-year coursework prepares you for D’Amore-McKim’s signature experiential learning opportunity: a paid corporate residency that lasts for three months or six months, or you could even undertake two six-month residencies. For the remainder of your second year, you’ll also earn credits through interdisciplinary learning. Concentrations include: business analytics, corporate innovation and venturing, entrepreneurship, finance, healthcare management, international business, leading people and organizations, marketing, and supply chain management.
Students with particular academic backgrounds may be able to waive certain core classes. If you are interested in pursuing a waiver, the first step is to speak with your academic advisor.

Meaningful experiential learning is part of everything we do at D’Amore-McKim—from guest lectures featuring industry insiders to case study coursework in your classrooms. In fact, three of your 15 elective credits must be experiential in nature. You’ll find that our experiential learning opportunities, where you truly put what you are learning into practice—and can often earn credit while doing it—truly set us apart.
Corporate Residency
Our corporate residency program is widely recognized for producing tomorrow’s leaders in their chosen fields. Even as a student, you’ll be working as a paid employee at a leading business where you’ll be given significant responsibilities. The typical duration of a corporate residency is six months. This duration will enable you to make a meaningful contribution to the company and build lasting connections. For experienced students who are not changing careers, there is an opportunity to accelerate your program by shortening your residency to three months. Conversely, you may want to undertake two six-month corporate residencies to maximize your opportunity to build your skill set and resume.
The 360 Huntington Fund
D'Amore-McKim School of Business' student managed mutual fund represents experiential learning in its purest form. This group currently manages nearly $1 million dollars of the university's total endowment.
