Note: courses and timing are subject to change over time as the School’s innovative curriculum evolves. Morning MBA and Evening MBA Course Schedule The Morning and Evening MBA programs offer the same world-class business education as the Full-Time MBA, while allowing you to maintain your busy work schedule. Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals, you can choose from a wide range of electives, including (if you wish) those taught during regular working hours. The Morning and Evening MBA programs take approximately 32 months to complete. The durations of the programs can be reduced should you opt to take additional elective courses during the designated academic terms. Because earning an MBA is about more than just accumulating credits, no exemptions are given for courses completed toward another undergraduate or graduate degree. At Rotman, we offer a full and transformative educational experience, without shortcuts or compromises. In just three years, our program will dramatically expand your potential, giving you the knowledge and skills you need to become a high-value decision maker in the global economy. 7 FIRST YEAR SECOND YEAR THIRD YEAR AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC JAN
