Lehigh's One-Year MBA has a Unique Curriculum Approach

You’ll begin with a series of core courses starting with Project Management and shortly followed by a variety of foundational courses that will prepare you in the business fundamentals. These courses are followed by courses taught from the stakeholder perspective. Societal shift courses are interwoven throughout the program and are designed to enable you to grapple with macro-level issues and challenges that affect businesses on a global scale.

Throughout the one-year program, the Consulting Practicum’s projects are designed to fully immerse you with hands-on experiential learning. The 1-MBA curriculum culminates with experiencing full integration of your knowledge in the Capstone Course.

The curriculum outlined below was approved by the College of Business faculty on February 10th, 2025 and is pending final approval by the University Faculty Senate by Spring 2025.

1-MBA Curriculum Overview (42 credits)

  • Core Courses (33 credits)
  • Electives (9 credits)
