MBA Program Information
The University of Texas at San Antonio's College of Business is accredited by AACSB International· The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is specifically designed to provide an intensive business education. Qualified candidates with an undergraduate degree in a business or non-business area are welcome to apply.

A majority of our MBA students are working professionals. Thus, most classes are offered in an evening format at the 1604 Campus. We also offer "Noon MBA" classes at our Downtown Campus. Students can choose classes from both formats to accommodate their schedules.

When school is in session, the College of Business' Office of Graduate Studies is open for advising Monday through Thursday until 7 p.m. and Fridays until 5 p.m. We are located in the Business Building, Room 4.01.18. Drop-ins are welcome or you can call (210) 458-4641 to make an appointment for advising.

A Graduate Business Career Officer is also available to assist students with career planning, development, networking, resume review, and placement. Please call or come by to make an appointment.

Application Process
Prospective candidates may apply for the fall, spring, or summer semesters. Applications can be submitted as early as nine months in advance. The graduate application form is available online. A non-refundable application fee and all required supporting documents must be on file with the university's Graduate School by the appropriate application deadline:

MBA Leveling
The MBA leveling courses are background courses which are required only for students who do not have a broad undergraduate business background or for students who have completed their undergraduate business degrees more than seven years prior to entering the MBA program. If you have questions about the possibility of having a leveling course waived, please contact the Graduate Advising Office. Credit for these courses cannot count toward the MBA degree requirements. For students who have completed a Business degree from a non-U.S. school, BLW 5003 is required, at a minimum (so that international students earning an MBA will be familiar with U.S. laws and management practices).
