Qualified students with some business background can complete the program in as little as one year, with most students completing in 18 months or less. Once you're finished, our career services staff will get you interview-ready and connect you with prestigious employers to help you land the job of your dreams.
The Clemson MBA Corporate curriculum consists of 5 Foundation Courses (13 credit hours), 11 Core Courses (27 credit hours), and 3 Elective Courses (9 credit hours), for a total of 49 course credit hours. Additionally, students with fewer than 2 years of post-graduate, career-relevant experience must complete a pre-approved, supervised, for-credit internship (6 credit hours).
Courses may be waived based on prior undergraduate or graduate coursework at the discretion of the MBA office.
All Clemson MBA students are required to complete three elective courses. Clemson does not require students to declare an emphasis area, therefore elective courses may be taken in one or across multiple areas. Elective courses are offered in the evenings only (Monday - Thursday at 6 PM).
