USF's MBA is a 33 credit hour program. Non-business majors are required to take pre-requisite business foundation courses (16 credit hours) after being accepted into the program.
Credit hours refer to the amount of coursework the student is taking. According to federal standards, a credit hour refers to 37.5 clock hours of work per semester. This means that a student who is registered for a 3-credit course, is expected to invest just over 112 hours per semester in that course.
