Weekend MBA Program for Working Professionals
Dr. Jim Hoffman, Director
The Rawls College of Business at Texas Tech University is currently offering a Weekend MBA program taught in an executive format designed specifically for working professionals. We currently have 105 working professionals in our program (35 in each of three cohorts). The current class of working professionals started the program during August 2008 and are scheduled to graduate in December 2010. Applications are currently being accepted for the class starting Fall 2009.
Our Weekend MBA program is offered in a cutting edge format designed specifically for working professionals. Under this format, working professionals have the opportunity to earn their MBA in a condensed program, in which classes meet in Lubbock one weekend a month spread out over 28 months. The class schedule and courses are tailored to maximize the value and convenience to working professionals. Classes meet from 12:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. on Saturdays and from 9:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on Sundays. Because the program is being offered in Lubbock, Texas, classes are specifically scheduled so that working professionals can fly into Lubbock for weekend classes once a month. All class meetings are also videotaped and sent to you on DVD in the event that you must miss class.
The program is fully accredited and consists of 48 hours of graduate course work and a non-credit component designated as the Enhancement Program in Business, which will complement the courses in the MBA program. For those applicants with three or more years of appropriate experience, GMAT scores will not be required. The total cost for the Weekend MBA Program for Working Professionals is $35,000 for residents of the state of Texas and $45,000 for non-residents of Texas plus a $50 application fee. This covers all program costs except for travel and lodging. An advanced fee of $1,000 and the $50 application fee (both non-refundable after August 10th, 2009) are required upon application. The remainder of the cost will be divided into seven approximately equal increments due once every four months at the beginning of each term.
