MBA Program

The University of Tampa’s MBA program is offered in three convenient formats:

• The Full-time/Day program designed for accelerated completion with a group of peer students. Full-time/Day program students take between 8 and 16 hours per semester of daytime classes. Full-time/Day program students can complete the program in as few as 12 months.
• The Part-time/Evening program is designed for students who work full time jobs and need to complete the program at their own pace. Classes are scheduled once a week from 6 to 9:40 p.m. Students who attend part-time can complete the coursework in as little as two years.

*To qualify for part-time financial aid, you must be registered for at least 4 credit hours. To qualify for full-time financial aid, you must be registered for at least 8 credit hours.
