Masters of Business Administration (MBA)

The MBA at RJU is a two-year, 60-credit-hour, four-semester full academic program offering Foundational Courses, Core Courses, Specialization courses, and Elective Courses. These courses help students develop leadership capabilities and rich theoretical concepts to support their polished business skills.

First-semester students will take Foundational Courses, which develop their understanding of the successful operation of business activities. In the second semester, students will sharpen their managerial skills through courses offered. The remaining semesters prioritize Capstone, Elective, and Specialization courses to hone business and managerial skills.

In the third semester, students gain real-life work experience while working in business organizations for 8-10 weeks, as required by the Attachment (Internship) Program. Well-structured Attachment Project Reports (APRs) prepared by interns are confidentially evaluated by dean-office-appointed internal and external examiners. The host organization shoulders the marks responsibility of 40%, while the intern is assigned 60% to a seminar presentation.

The dissertation, exclusive to the last semester, allows candidates to gain fieldwork and empirical knowledge in the engaged topic. Evaluated by dean-office-appointed internal and external examiners, viva-voce and report writing bear marks of 40:60, respectively.
