  
M.B.A. Curriculum
The M.B.A. curriculum consists of 35 credits of graduate study, offered in
a single calendar year. M.B.A. candidates complete nine required courses,
five of which are in the functional areas of accounting, finance, management,
marketing, and operations management. Two required courses address the
challenge of managing in a global economy and the integration of functional
knowledge in strategic decision making. The two remaining required courses
analyze the historical development, present characteristics, and future
projections for selected industries. Candidates complete the program
by taking three additional elective courses.
Classes begin in August and continue through the first summer session,
which ends in late June. Most classes meet from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Every
few years courses that are usually scheduled during the day are offered
in the evening for the benefit of part-time students.

M.B.A. Scholarships
Ithaca College offers a limited number of graduate scholarships to
matriculated M.B.A. students. All applicants to
the M.B.A. program are considered for scholarship awards, which are
announced when students receive notice of admission to the program.
Scholarships range from one-quarter to full tuition, and are awarded
on the basis of academic merit. In most cases, scholarship awards are
determined by May 1, and recipients will be notified by May 15. Completed
applications received by April 15 receive first consideration for scholarships.
Academic Advising
The director of the M.B.A. program serves as the academic adviser for
all students enrolled in the program.
Pass/Fail Options
Candidates take all M.B.A. courses for letter grades, with the exception of elective internships, which candidates may elect to take on a pass/fail basis.
