Master of Business Administration

Evening Program Curriculum

Starting Fall 2006, we have updated the MBA curriculum to maintain a program that is current and relevant in the workplace. This design incorporates feedback from students and alumni, recent trends in academic research, keeps pace with competitive MBA programs, and allows students more flexibility in their program of study. A student will now take a maximum of 15 courses, with possibilities to reduce this number through waivers.

Our MBA academic advisor, Lisa Lancellotta, is available to discuss with each student their personal program of study. Please call or email her with any questions. She can be reached at +1 (401) 874-4241 or mba@uri.edu.
