 Return to: Academic Programs
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program designed to be completed in six semesters over 24 months.
The program focuses on topics that surface in everyday activities and long-term planning for all organizations. Many programs provide stand-alone courses in these topics. Our approach is to integrate these topics throughout the program with repeated emphasis from a variety of perspectives.
All students in the MBA program are required to complete 48 academic credits. This includes 36 core credits and 12 elective credits. Due to the uniquely integrated nature of the MBA curriculum, transferred course work may not be used in place of required core courses unless approved by the Program Director. A Hamline MBA graduate will have the tools to be effective at:
- Leadership
- Critical Thinking
- Total Communication
- Business Process Improvement

Degree Requirements (48 credits and 2.8 GPA)
Elective Courses (12 credits):
Students may choose from a range of elective courses based on their areas of interest. Optionally, students may meet the elective requirement by completing a concentration. Concentration requirements are listed below.
School of Business Concentrations
There are three concentrations available to students in the MBA and MPA programs. MPA students desiring to complete a concentration will have to take 8 credits beyond the required 40 credits. Students earn concentrations by completing 12 credits of elective coursework within the same subject area. Each allows a student to focus more deeply on one area of interest. Concentrations include business analytics, leadership and change management, and a customized concentration.
Business Analytics Concentration
Choose any three courses from the MSBA program. Note: some courses have prerequisites which may impact options students can select.
Leadership and Change Management
Choose any three of the following courses.
Customized Concentration
This option is for students who are motivated to study a topic relevant to their degree program in-depth. Customized concentrations require 12 credits of graduate elective coursework and may be comprised of graduate courses at Hamline University and approved transfer courses. Customized Concentration applications must be approved by the Graduate Curriculum and Assessment Committee.
Sample concentration options might include Marketing, Finance, Business Communications, and so forth. Students who want to pursue this option should contact the Graduate Programs Director for an application form.
Time Limit
The MBA program is a 24-month program; however, seven years is the allowed maximum.
