Full-time Course Schedule
The Full-Time MMA program begins in mid-August with a one-day program orientation, followed by a two-week preparatory bootcamp designed to help students build a strong foundation for the program. Following the bootcamp, students will participate in an intensive five-day course.
Each year, two Full-Time MMA cohorts are admitted, and students will be assigned to one of the two cohorts. Beginning in September, courses transition to the regular university academic schedule. While a detailed timetable will be released closer to the start of the program, one cohort will primarily attend classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, while the other will primarily attend classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students can also expect Fridays to be dedicated to experiential learning activities, career treks, and guest lectures.
In addition to scheduled class time, students should expect to dedicate time outside of class to readings, assignments, casework, and group projects throughout the program.
Part-time Course Schedule
The Winter 2027 MMA cohort will begin in January. Designed for working professionals, the Part-Time MMA program schedules most classes on Friday evenings and Saturdays, with the possibility of a few intensive sessions. In addition to class time, students should anticipate completing readings, assignments, and group projects outside of scheduled hours.
