Online MBA Course Structure
SNHU's online MBA provides the flexibility to customize your program with courses that focus on specific subjects of interest. You can choose to take either elective courses or a concentration to complete your 13-course program. Those with non-business academic backgrounds may be required to take foundation courses. Degree students requiring foundation courses often choose the elective option because it provides the added flexibility of using some foundation courses to fulfill their elective requirements. Students choosing the elective option are also able to pursue a graduate certificate in addition to their degree program (typically at a reduced credit load, depending on the electives selected).
Students progress through the foundation courses (if required), then through the 10-course MBA core and either a concentration or elective courses.
