The two-year full-time MBA Option (63 credit hours):
The full-time MBA program at WSU features nationally prominent faculty, small cohort groups, and encourages frequent and personal interaction among faculty and students. The MBA program focuses on the management of innovation and hands-on, real-world experiences, including the opportunity to study abroad.

Unlike many other MBA programs, the College of Business at WSU offers a high-quality, intense MBA curriculum in a small, cohort-based format. Students are enrolled in cohorts of approximately 30 students each year and complete coursework and outside activities with the same group of students throughout their time in the program. The smaller class sizes enable more individual interactions with professors and graduate program staff including a professional development specialist. Students also participate in a required, supervised internship and an international elective.

This program is located on the Pullman campus and includes a comprehensive graduate business curriculum including the following content/experiences:
