Requirements
The Lake Forest MBA program is comprised of 16 units, including 13 core units and 3 elective units. Typically, one course is the equivalent of one unit; however, some courses are half units. To enhance the strength of our practitioner-led classroom learning environment, we also utilize technology to deliver course content. This includes the use of blended delivery options, as well as exclusively online courses.
Your Lake Forest MBA program begins with our MBA Kickoff, the first official day for new students. More than a new student orientation, the MBA Kickoff introduces each student to skills and concepts that will maximize your MBA experience.
