The Master of Business Administration degree provides students with a
broad managerial education drawing from all business disciplines. It is
obtained by completing the program course requirements of 53 hours beyond the
prerequisites. U.T. Dallas offers several distinct approaches to obtaining an
MBA. These include (1) the Cohort MBA Program, a full-time program in which
students are admitted as a group each Fall and take their required classes
together in a fixed sequence, (2) the Professional MBA Program for students
attending school part-time, with classes largely meeting in the evening, and
(3) the Global MBA Online with all core and elective courses available by
distance learning, online.
Each of these MBA programs consists of 29 hours of required core courses and
24 hours of elective course work, which may include an optional concentration
in a selected area of business study. Courses in the Global MBA Online use
audio streaming lectures supported by downloadable presentations, online
text-based conferences, bulletin board and e-mail exchanges, and
teleconferences.

electives. Three concentrations are available (1) Information
Technology Management and Consulting (2) E-Business Technology and (3)

highly specialized professional knowledge in information systems development, IT-based
business models, managerial issues in IT design, and IT adoption and diffusion.
The M.S. in Management and Administrative Sciences degree provides
students the opportunity for specialized education in a specific management
discipline built upon a core of business courses. It is obtained by completing
the program course requirements of 36 hours beyond all prerequisites. The
