Master of Business Administration

Important Note Regarding International Students

International students are required to be enrolled full-time (9 hours is full-time for grad) with 6 hours face-to-face and 3 hours online.

• INTL students can pursue Computer Engineering on the Stephenville campus (Fall or Spring).
• They can pursue the MBA at the Ft. Worth campus with a Fall-only start.
• International students can study online only if they remain outside the US. If they want to come to the US, they must study in person.

One other caveat: If an international student has an H visa, they can study online programs in the US, but most of our students are on an F visa, which requires them to study face-to-face at a campus. H visa holders are here to work, and being able to go to school is an added benefit. F visa holders are here to study only and are not allowed to work.
