Introduction

The Cohort MBA degree in the College of Business at Lamar University is an alternate pathway for full-time MBA students with undergraduate business degrees. In addition to the core curriculum, the "cohort" of students will have the opportunity to participate in various experiential learning activities. If you are a student coming directly from an undergraduate business program we recommend that you enroll in the experiential business and entrepreneurship concentration but students may choose any of the concentrations offered by the Lamar MBA.

The "cohort" MBA is a 36 credit-hour program that features a full-time evening core curriculum that students complete in 16 months. Each "cohort" of students starts the program in August and graduates 16 months later. Students follow a lock step progression through the program, taking all core classes together as available on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of every week (No Friday classes). The "cohort" MBA will only be offered for students beginning in each fall semester. When entering the Lamar MBA, each student must declare their interest in either the traditional or "cohort" MBA.
