Plan your MBA 

The Plan of Study serves as a contract between students and the university; it is a key element in successfully completing degree requirements. The original online plan of study will be submitted after discussion with the academic advisor and must be submitted to the Graduate College before a student enrolls in the seventeenth hour of graduate coursework.  The plan of study should include a list of the core courses and planned electives in the intended sequence of enrollment. This plan is flexible and can be changed prior to the semester of graduation. For military students using tuition assistance, an additional Microsoft Word form is available by request.

Changes in the plan of study may be made with the approval of the program when the student’s interests change or when course scheduling requires such changes. Prior to graduation the student will be required to submit a final plan of study.  A sample of the completed plan of study is below.
