2. Is the program available in an on-line format?
At present the program is only available in a classroom-based format, but we will soon offer two other ways for you to complete your CIBM MBA degree. All courses will be offered in an asynchronous on-line modality to permit maximum flexibility. You will also soon be able to complete your program in a blended modality, combining one classroom-based course with one on-line course each semester.

3. Do I have to hold a Bachelors degree in Business to enter the MBA program?
No! The CIBM MBA program has been designed with two entry points. Those who hold a degree in business or a closely related field may enter the program directly. For those without a business degree, a set of three Background Courses has been developed to give you the understandings you will need to succeed in your MBA.

4. What is the Capstone Course and is it difficult?
The Capstone Course will provide you with the opportunity to bring together all that you have learned in your program. Under the guidance of a faculty advisor, you will select a topic of interest to you, complete a research project, and prepare a capstone project report. Because the project is of your choosing and because of the one-on-one support CIBM faculty members provide, you will find the project an achievable experience. Not only will this project provide a solid conclusion to your program, but it will give you a tangible product you can show an employer to document your capabilities.
