Unlv mba program requirements

We are proud to offer two MBA program options to best suit your goals and schedule.

The Evening Hybrid MBA

The evening hybrid MBA program is meticulously crafted to support working professionals aiming to elevate their careers without sacrificing their current professional roles. Our alternating in-person and online format allows you to progress at your own pace, as you can choose between full-time or part-time commitments. Classes are conveniently timed from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. on either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday, with additional classes meeting once a week from 7 to 9:45 p.m. Please note that for those pursuing dual degrees, the hybrid format applies only to the MBA component.

Available Concentrations

A unique offering of the evening hybrid MBA is the program concentrations. These concentrations are ideal for professionals who want specialized, in depth knowledge in a specific business area. Your selected concentration will allow you to enhance your qualifications to target specific job opportunities, receive networking opportunities in your chosen field, and acquire specialized skills for industry relevance.

The online MBA program accommodates the schedules of working professionals around the globe. The asynchronous structure allows students to access coursework and lectures at their convenience to help them balance their studies with personal and professional commitments. The program maintains a rigorous academic standard equal to that of in-person courses, with all students having access to the same high-quality resources and faculty expertise.

This option comprises seven core classes to cover essential business disciplines. It also offers seven electives to help students tailor their education to specific interests and career goals. Electives range from topics such as advanced business strategies to innovative management practices.

Nevada Residency

Your Nevada residency status plays a key part in your tuition rate. New graduate students are initially classified as out-of-state, with potential reclassification through a straightforward application process. Nevada residents enjoy significantly reduced tuition rates. International students on a non-resident visa are classified as out-of-state but can change their status after a year with a green card. Detailed residency guidelines are available to ensure you have all the information you need to potentially lower your educational costs.
