Unit Requirements

Aside from the scheduled course electives that are usually worth 1 – 3 units, students may choose to complete the 42 unit graduation requirement with electives that are not part of regular course offerings:

  • Maximum of one Business of Politics Washington Campus course
  • Maximum of one Seminar in International Business (SIB) course.
  • Maximum three units of Independent Study sponsored by a Haas faculty member

The Evening & Weekend MBA Program sometimes offers a number of one-unit elective courses that complement the standard 3-unit electives offered each semester. These courses include:

  • 1-unit Independent Study courses (See Independent Study)
  • 1-unit Sunday courses (Attendance at all 1-unit Sunday course sessions is MANDATORY)
  • 1-unit Evening or Saturday courses (Usually 3-5 sessions)

For 1-unit core classes with 3 or fewer sessions, attendance at all class sessions is required. For 1-unit core classes with 4-5 sessions, students are permitted to miss one class and still pass the class, but an absence will impact the student’s participation grade.

In a given semester, students must be enrolled in a minimum of:

  • 6 units to receive Financial Aid, including student loans
  • 1 unit to receive career services and student services
  • Students enrolled in 0 units are withdrawn

The maximum course load per semester is 9 units, unless exceptional approval is granted by the program office. Under no circumstances will approval be given for more than 16 units.

Students cannot extend their enrollment past the semester in which they earn their 42nd unit.

Please also note the limits on non-standard courses.

Evening & Weekend MBA courses range from 1 – 3 units. Please see below for a breakdown of contact hours:

  • 1-unit represents about 45-60 hours of work (15 classroom hours plus 30-45 hours of prep)
  • 2-units represents about 90-120 hours of work (30 classroom hours plus 60-90 hours of prep)
  • 3-units represents about 135-180 hours of work (45 classroom hours plus 90-135 hours of prep)
