Accelerated MBA Program

The Accelerated MBA Program is a 12-month, full-time option designed for individuals with significant professional experience and a distinguished academic background in business. The accelerated MBA Program is designed to build upon the business foundation and experience of these individuals.

Students in the Accelerated MBA Program pursue a fast-paced, individually tailored curriculum that complements their own unique business background. The curriculum includes a subset of the courses offered in TCU's traditional MBA Program, carefully selected in cooperation with the director of graduate programs administration and based on the student's professional and academic credentials. It comprises:

  • 36 credit hours of graduate-level business courses;
  • 18 to 24 credit hours of graduate business electives; and
  • 12 to 18 credit hours selected from the following MBA core classes: ACCT 60010, ACCT 60020, FINA 60003, FINA 60013, INSC 60010, INSC 60023, INSC 60040, INSC 60600, MANA 60023, MANA 60063, MANA 60033, MANA 60460 AND MARK 60013.

Students must include MANA 60460 in their selection of core courses. The 36 semester hours are completed over the course of three consecutive semesters.

Like the traditional program, the objective of the Accelerated MBA Program is to provide graduates with the strategic, integrated perspective of business needed to support managerial decision making and provide career flexibility.

Students in the Accelerated MBA Program also benefit from many of the features of the traditional program. The program integrates sound business fundamentals with multiple opportunities to round out that experience. Communication skills, leadership, team building, technology and experiential learning are emphasized throughout the program. The learning environment is highly interactive and team-oriented.
