Overview
The Sawyer Business School offers Accelerated and Standard programs for qualified graduate students starting in the fall and spring.
The Accelerated Program is a one semester program, offered in the fall and spring, that typically requires one Academic English course and three (3) required SBS graduate courses.
The Standard Program is a two semester program, offered in the fall and spring, which typically requires two (2) Academic English courses and two (2) required SBS graduate courses in semester one followed by two (2) additional Academic English courses and two (2) required SBS graduate courses in semester two. Students who begin the Standard Program in the fall will enroll in two (2) consecutive semesters-fall and spring. Students who begin the Standard Program in the spring will enroll in two (2) semesters-spring and fall. The summer semester is not required; therefore, no SBS graduate courses are offered.
SBS graduate course credits, earned in the SBS Accelerated or Standard Program, will apply to the corresponding graduate degree program once progression requirements are met. SBS Integrated Master's Program students must meet all academic standing requirements and policies to remain within their SBS Integrated Master's Program and subsequent SBS graduate program.
Notes:
- Courses may vary based on availability and semester.
- Upon successful completion of the Integrated Master's Program in Business Analytics, the student must follow the requirements of the Master of Science in Business Analytics program.
