MBA (Off-campus location) Program Description
Loyola University Maryland proposes to offer our current MBA as an off-campus program at the Transamerica Building, located at 100 Light Street, Baltimore. <br>The proposed program targets adult part-time students. The MBA program requires 39 - 42 credits depending on whether a specialization is chosen by the student. Loyola MBA students can choose, but are not required to select a specialization. Loyola defines a specialization as an informal institutional award of less than twelve credits as stated in COMAR 13B.02.02.16 J. Specializations currently available within the MBA include Marketing, Finance, Information Systems, International Business, Data Analytics, Investments and Applied Portfolio Management, and Management. Although the MBA program is approved by the Commission to offer Areas of Concentration, none are required for completion of the program. As proposed, more than one-third of the MBA program would be offered at the Transamerica Building site. <br>
