Hybrid MBA Curriculum
Designed for working professionals, the Leeds Hybrid MBA program offers a cohort structure with asynchronous and synchronous sessions while limiting in-person meetings to Saturdays only. The program provides a clear progression of foundational courses during the first four semesters and during the final two semesters, students can choose from electives drawn from finance, marketing, management, operations, and entrepreneurship. In addition, a Capstone Project, an accumulation of the two-year program, helps students demonstrate the skills they have learned in the program.
The Hybrid MBA Program begins in May each year. Typically, students meet in person one Saturday per month. Due to condensed schedules, two Saturdays per month may be necessary. Please click the Class of 2027 Schedule button below to review those Saturday dates. Saturday classes meet from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm. Additionally, students should expect Wednesday evening Zoom sessions in select courses as determined by the faculty. All class meetings are recorded for students who may have work conflicts. The program's unique schedule allows students to graduate in two years.
