Program Overview

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree program is available online as well as on the Hattiesburg and Biloxi campuses. The university operates on a trimester system over its academic year. Students may enter the program in the fall, winter, spring or summer trimesters. The fall trimester begins in August with MBA classes meeting for ten weeks. The winter trimester begins in November, and the spring trimester begins in February. A full summer trimester is also offered starting in late May or early June.
