Whether you work long hours throughout the week, travel on weekdays, or live outside of the metropolitan area, the Weekend MBA program can fit your busy schedule. And it can help keep your weeknights free for family, personal activities, and other commitments. Weekend courses begin throughout the year and the full curriculum is offered at our centrally located Clayton campus.

Instructors are a combination of full-time professors and adjunct faculty from the corporate community with experience in the courses they facilitate. Students benefit from an interactive learning environment and have the opportunity to incorporate classroom learning with real-world experiences through the development of an applied business research project focusing on a practical problem or opportunity.

Weekend MBA courses meet at the same time each week in an accelerated 9-week format. Friday courses meet from 6pm-10pm, Saturday morning courses meet from 8am-12pm, and Saturday afternoon courses meet from 1pm-5pm. Occasionally, Sunday afternoon courses are offered as well. Classes are in four-hour blocks, allowing students to enroll for up to three courses each term in a more condensed timeframe over the weekend. And with four terms per year beginning August, November, February, and May, it's possible for qualified candidates to complete the Weekend MBA degree program in as little as one year.

The Weekend MBA format gives you the flexibility to keep your education in step with your busy lifestyle. If you prefer to take a more relaxed pace and register for just one or two courses each term, you can. Should your career, family life, or personal schedule require more of your time, you can choose to take a term or more off for other priorities. Courses offered each term can be found in the Fontbonne University Schedule of Courses. Please note that the maximum completiontime is six years from the starting date of your first core course.
