Each school year commences with a required week-long Austin Intensive session to prepare you for the courses and skills you will need to master in the coming academic year. This program is held at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center on The University of Texas at Austin campus. In December or April of your first year you will travel with your classmates on the global trip component of the program to help develop a greater understanding of doing business abroad. This experiential learning activity is required as it is integral that you become a globally-attuned manager with insight into the world marketplace and economy. Countries our Working Professionals MBA programs have visited in the past include Thailand, China, Chile, Russia, The Netherlands, Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates.
The Texas MBA at Dallas/Fort Worth program curriculum is structured in a lockstep, cohort-based format, so you will build strong bonds with your classmates as you move through each class in the program with them. At the beginning of the program you will be assigned a study group to complete class assignments and work on group projects. These teams facilitate cross-functional and cooperative problem solving, while bringing together managers from different professional backgrounds. The curriculum is designed to encourage students to learn as much from each other as from their coursework and professors.
The world-renowned Texas MBA faculty drive the content of the program, combining research-based academic learning with real-world scenarios from your current work and their past experiences to create an interactive classroom dynamic. Additionally, you will be supported by our Texas MBA at Dallas/Fort Worth staff, including program coordinators who take care of academic headaches such as registration, and book purchases and career services advisors who help you navigate your next career steps.
