Full Course of Study
International students are required to take a full course of study. For graduate programs, a full course of study is at least 8 quarter units. Most courses are 4-unit courses. Thus, an international student must take at least two 4-unit courses each term.

Students are required to attend the face-to-face instruction weekend session once per term/quarter. Failure to attend the mandatory weekend session may result in dismissal from the MBA IT concentration program.
