Evening MBA Curriculum

Designed for working professionals, the Leeds Evening MBA is an in-person program that offers a cohort structure. The program provides a clear progression of foundational courses during the first four semesters. During the final two semesters, students can choose from electives drawn from finance, marketing, management, operations, and entrepreneurship. In addition, a Capstone Project, an accumulation of the two-year program, helps students demonstrate the skills they have learned in the program.

The Evening MBA Program begins in May each year. Core classes meet two evenings each week, Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday from 6:30 pm to 9:15/45 pm for six consecutive semesters. Elective courses, which begin the last two semesters of the program, meet one night each week from 6:30 pm to 9:45 pm.  Our innovative schedule allows students to graduate in two-years.

*Pathway programs are designed specifically for the Full-Time MBA program. However, the electives that make up the Pathways may be available to you in another delivery method, depending on your schedule and course availability. Therefore, Part-Time MBA students can enroll in electives from the Evening, Hybrid or Full-Time MBA programs and select MS courses. Enrollment is based on available space, with preference given to the "home" program. Schedules are subject to change.
