Full-time mba

      The University of Louisville is pleased to announce the launch of our new Full-Time MBA program. The Full-Time MBA begins in August 2010 and is an innovative 13-month MBA program designed for recent graduates. Students will have the opportunity to gain real-world experience at a part-time, paid internship during the day with MBA courses will be held two nights per week and on Friday afternoons.

      Non-business and business majors alike are encouraged to join this competitive program to learn vital skills needed to succeed in today's ever-changing businesses. There are no prerequisite courses, which allows students to start right away, regardless of undergraduate major. The cohort format allows students of diverse backgrounds to learn from one another from the beginning of the program to the end, taking all courses together in a lock-step format and building lasting relationships.

Internship

      Our internship feature sets this MBA program apart from all others in the region, because students gain valuable experience in a real-world setting for 11 months while earning their degree. At the beginning of the program, students will polish their resume writing and interview skills with experts from our Ulmer Career Management Center before meeting with potential employers for their internship. Students will then be matched with high quality companies in the Louisville area based on their area of interest (marketing, finance, etc.) and preferred industry.  Students also may find their own internships if they prefer (subject to approval).  Students will receive course credit and a grade for their internship performance.
