Program Formats and Locations
The Carey MBA program has one set of course and admission requirements but is offered in three different formats:
- Evening MBA, in which students take classes at their own pace from courses offered at any of the four campuses: Downtown Baltimore, Washington, DC, Rockville, MD, or Columbia, MD.
- Saturday MBA, in which a cohort of students takes classes together, with all classes on Saturdays, following a prescribed schedule. Students have found this to be a welcome option when, for professional or personal reasons, they prefer Saturday-only classes.
Students take two classes at a time in 10-week sessions, with a final 15-week capstone course on Competitive Strategy. At this pace, students complete the program in approximately 27 months.
Saturday MBA cohorts start in the spring semester at the Washington Center and in the fall semester at the Downtown Baltimore Center. Applicants interested in this format can indicate their location preference on the application.
- MBA Fellows program is designed for professionals whose busy schedules make attending regular classes a challenge or for those who prefer a project-based learning methodology. The MBA Fellows program follows a format in which cohorts participate in project-based action learning, supported by an online component and intensive residencies.
