What is the Full-Time Honors MBA Program? What makes it different from the full-time FlexTime program?
Overview
Full-Time Honors MBA Program (FTH)
The Full-Time Honors MBA is a highly selective and diverse full-time program which challenges you to reach your fullest potential both intellectually and professionally. The Honors MBA is an immersion experience, where every day is about succeeding both individually and as a team. For more information, visit the Full-Time Honors web page at: http://zicklin.baruch.cuny.edu/programs/graduate/mba/full/
The Flex-Time MBA Program
Zicklin's highly ranked Flex-Time MBA program prepares students for professional careers in a competitive business environment. A diverse student population and faculty with broad academic and professional backgrounds provide a rich learning experience both within and outside the classroom.
Students typically follow a prescribed sequence of courses and are together in cohort modules for their first four core courses. Each module consists of two "paired" courses that meet back-to-back twice a week. In this way, students have an efficient schedule and can get to know each other in two shared courses. The program offers flexible schedules for full-or part-time study each semester (unless visa status requires full-time enrollment).

When are classes offered? Are there weekend classes?
The Flex-Time MBA and MS Programs offer courses primarily in the evening. Courses for the Full-Time Honors MBA Program are during the day for the first year, and both day and evening for the second year. The Accelerated Part-Time MBA Program requires study weeknights and on Saturdays.
Can I switch from part-time to full-time and vice versa in the FlexTime programs?
Yes, you can switch between part-time study and full-time study in the Flex-Time programs depending upon your personal needs. However, international students studying on F-1 visas must maintain a full-time study schedule.
Can I switch into the APT program from the Flex-Time program?
No. The APT program admits students for the fall only as it is a cohort program. Students work through the core together and follow a set schedule in order to complete the MBA in 28 months. We are not able to admit students mid-program, as those students would be off the sequence the rest of the cohort is following.
Can I switch from the APT program into the Flex-Time program?
Yes. Students are able to switch to the Flex-Time program if they need to alter their program or need more time to complete the degree requirements.
Can I switch into the Honors Program from the Flex-Time program?
No. Some of the major requirements of the Full-Time Honors Program are offered at orientation and during the first term. Students entering this program after the first term would have missed too much of the cohort experience to transfer in at this point.
Can I take non-degree / non-matriculated courses?
No. Studying as a non-degree (non-matriculated) student is not an option. All students must be officially admitted in one of Zicklin’s programs in order to take classes.
How many graduate courses can I transfer to this program?
MBA students can transfer up to twelve credits. No more than three–four credits (one course) may be applied towards the MBA major.
For MS students up to eight credits (two courses) will be allowed.

Can I begin classes in the summer?
There is no summer entry.
However, early applicants for the fall semester may be eligible to take some classes in the summer. Be advised that the number of summer courses available is limited; therefore, seats in any course are not guaranteed.
