Ask the Advisor - Dr. Helpful
Dear Dr. Helpful,
Is it too late to sign up for a 2009 J-term course? I would like to take an elective and speed-up the time it is taking me to complete my UST MBA degree.
Thank you,
Hayden
Dear Hayden,
There is room available in a few January (J-term) courses. You can take J-term courses if you have completed two core courses. Check Murphy online registration or the Class Finder: www.stthomas.edu/classes. (Please note that Murphy online information is provided in real-time and that the Class Finder information is static and updated at midnight.)
Happy Holidays!

Dear Dr. Helpful,
Are there any sustainability-related classes available?
Sam
Dear Sam,
Yes! Sustainability Development Strategies, ETLS677, was recently added to the Spring 2009 schedule. It’s listed under the School of Engineering, but the course is being offered in Minneapolis specifically for UST MBA students. The course meets on Tuesdays, from 6 – 9 pm.
You may take up to four non-College of Business classes. Contact your academic advisor before registering because you will need to provide documentation explaining why you want to take a non-OCB class.

Dear Dr. Helpful,
During the next few months, my work travel-schedule has increased and I will not be able to attend class during the week. Can you suggest an alternative?
Thank you.
Gina
Dear Gina,
The Evening UST MBA program offers most courses Monday through Thursday evenings. However, courses are also available on different schedules and various locations.
You can take courses on:
Saturday mornings (14 weeks), Saturdays (7 weeks, 9 am - 4 pm), Four weekends (Friday evening, all day Saturday--mainly in Owatonna). Other options include the week-long Great Books course (BETH706), offered in January and August. Finally, there are Study Abroad courses in J-term (January) and late-May/early-June. For students who are not traveling during the week and do not work during the day, there may be the option of taking elective courses during the day. To enroll in the day courses, students must request enrollment through their academic advisor.
You can view the course schedules in Murphy online and on Class Finder (www.stthomas.edu/classes)
Sincerely,
Dr. Helpful
