Full-time MBA

Students in the Whitman MBA program at Syracuse University receive a well-rounded education that incorporates both the theoretical background and practical experience needed to succeed in today’s ever-changing global economy. The experiential learning component encourages students to apply classroom learning to business problems, connect with decision makers, and deliver tangible results that add value to sponsoring organizations. Students build an experiential portfolio through internships, consulting, specialized courses, community engagement, and other practical experiences that make them more valuable in the marketplace. In 2008, the Whitman MBA graduating class saw 69 percent of students employed all over the world at graduation with a median base salary of $65,000.

The Whitman full-time MBA program is traditionally a two-year program with summers dedicated to completing an industry internship. Many MBA students enter the program with significant full-time work or internship experience and may opt out of the internship to take courses, condensing the program to 16 months. This flexible program offers students with little work experience or those switching careers the option of a  six-month internship.
