The Off-Campus MBA Program is available to students who prefer an accelerated "executive" style of learning at our off-campus location, 180 Rose Orchard Way in San José, which is off North between Tasman Road and Route 237 [map]. Each three-unit class is eight-weeks long, with four-hour meetings one evening per week and on two Saturdays. Classes are delivered year-round in six 8-week sessions. This format allows students to complete six (or more) courses per year.

Our evening Off-Campus MBA program brings together an interesting mix of full-time and part-time students from a variety of academic, career, and cultural backgrounds. As might be expected from SJSU's Silicon Valley location, students come to the classroom with a wealth of real-world experience, whether they are in technical positions (on the engineering or software side, for example) and want to develop business acumen, advance in managerial positions, or deepen their knowledge base.

Eighty percent of our graduate students are full-time business professionals in Silicon Valley companies, although work experience is not required for admission. The majority of students attend the programs on a part-time basis. The average age of the SJSU MBA student is 32. Reflecting the area's population, the student body is a multicultural assembly. Instruction in our MBA programs is a combination of case studies, lecture, research, team projects, computer analysis, student presentations, and presentations by members of the business community.

The advantage of this accelerated format is that students can complete the degree in less time than the semester format used in our on-campus MBA program. If all prerequisite requirements have been satisfied, students can complete this program in 28 months by taking one courses per session.

In addition, many students find the accelerated program provides a more convenient location relative to their jobs or homes because classes are held at our off-campus location in Silicon Valley.

Lucas GSB students are working in companies throughout Silicon Valley, literally side-by-side with MBAs from other programs around the region, nation, and world. Our MBAs are adding value to the best-known, world-class Silicon Valley companies, attesting to the excellent quality of education that our degree offers. A Lucas GSB MBA can help you unlock your potential.
