Degree in Three - Fast Track Your Potential

Highly motivated working professionals have the opportunity to complete their M.B.A. in just three years without sacrificing quality or comprehensiveness, thanks to the Evening UST MBA “Degree in Three” plan at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business.

The Degree in Three plan allows students to fast-track their studies, taking classes in the summer and January terms as well as the traditional fall and spring semesters. In addition to earning the credential faster, students enjoy increased connectedness and continuity among courses.

All students interested in this intensive program should consult early and often with their academic advisors to make sure their degree plans fully support personal goals and meet prerequisite requirements. Proper planning and course sequencing is critical to the Degree in Three strategy.

Course waiver exams afford students with an undergraduate business degree or appropriate professional expertise an additional option to accelerate their degree completion. Students may take the exams once admitted, and if they demonstrate an acceptable understanding of core course subject(s), the course is waived from their degree requirements.

Sample Degree in Three course plans are available for students beginning their studies in either the fall or spring semester. Your individual plan may vary. Contact your academic advisor to find out if Degree in Three is right for you and put together a plan that works for you!
