Logan - On Campus

Students applying for the full time 33-credit program on the USU Logan campus should plan on one year to complete the MBA degree. The normal class load is:

  • Fall Semester – 15 credits
  • Spring Semester – 12 credits
  • Summer Semester – 6 credits

The required classes for fall and spring semesters are offered in a convenient Tuesday/Thursday time frame. Summer semester is different, however, with students taking their two courses (six credits) during the first four-week session of the semester. During this session, students will be in class for two hours a day per class (four hours total) for four weeks. This schedule enables students to be finished with their MBA program by the end of the first week of June.

A student can earn a specialization for additional credits. We offer specializations in accounting, entrepreneurship, human resources, manufacturing management and personal financial planning. Students should be prepared to spend an additional semester on campus to receive a specialization.  An International Study Tour will be included in the curriculum, it is required for all students to participate.  For further information, please contact us.
