EARLY CAREER MBA

Get a competitive edge...

Early Career MBA

Are you a young professional who needs a leg up on the competition in the business world? Do you need solid business skills and experience to go with your undergraduate degree? If you answered "Yes" to either of these questions, the Early Career MBA offered by the University of Dallas is right for you.

Resumé Building...

The Early Career MBA is designed for talented people early in their career who need professional experience, as well as academic experience. The track is ideal for recent graduates of both business and non-business programs who are motivated to get an MBA while gaining work experience. We welcome graduates of liberal arts programs who meet our admissions requirements.

A Network for Life...

The Early Career MBA is a cohort track which means that the students enrolled follow the same class schedule throughout their MBA with only a few elective exceptions. It follows our MBA curriculum, but it also has a guided professional experience requirement that is completed during your course of study.

 

About the Early Career MBA

Length of Program:  Typically, once foundational requirements are satified, the courses for the Early Career MBA cohort are completed across 4 terms.

Professional Development:  Each full term includes a Professional Development course unique to the Early Career MBA which covers topics of importance to young professionals such as networking, career development and mentorships.

Internship:  Early Career MBA cohorts have the opportunity to complete guided professional experiences which combines a professional internship with classroom-based coaching. These may be fulfilled through profit or non-profit, paid or unpaid, full-time, part-time or temporary positions during the course of study. Within specified parameters, you may complete the experience requirement with a single employer.

Admissions Requirements:  Admission to the Early Career MBA track is selective and is based on an evaluation of your academic and professional background including:

  • Less than four years of managerial or professional experience
  • Undergraduate academic record
