Semester Restrictions

Generally, students in the MBA-PM program may not take more than six hours of coursework concurrently per semester. However, students may enroll for nine hours with prior approval from a designated program advisor.

To receive permission, a student must:

• be a regular status, admitted student
• have completed at least six hours in the program
• have received grades of B or better in all MBA coursework
• have earned an MBA grade-point-average of 3.5 or above

Summer:
Maximum summer enrollment for admitted students is 9 semester hours (3 courses).

Enrollment in Full-Time MBA Courses

Students admitted to the MBA-PM may complete up to 30 credit hours of full-time MBA coursework at the Iowa City campus. MBA courses are offered in Iowa City during the fall and spring semesters.

Students interested in taking courses on the main campus should contact their advisor and must meet on-campus registration requirements (such as student health). Please note there is a difference in tuition rates for on-campus, full-time courses vs. MBA-PM courses.

*Full-time MBA students have priority over such courses.
