Business Administration, MBA—Part-Time (Boston)

The Part-Time MBA program at Northeastern University’s D’Amore-McKim School of Business equips future business leaders with the tools necessary to thrive in today’s complex, connected, and tech-forward economy. Designed for working professionals, this flexible program allows students to balance career and academic goals while applying new skills immediately in their professional settings. Each semester, students tailor their schedule and customize their learning experience.

Choose Up to Two Optional Concentrations

Students focus their skill set by choosing up to two in-demand business concentrations that align with today’s most sought-after career paths. With 16 semester hours dedicated to each concentration, they build meaningful depth in areas like finance, business analytics, marketing, supply chain, and more.

Experience-Powered Learning

Experiential learning is central to the program. Alongside classroom projects that use real company data, students apply their knowledge through experiential and travel-based electives such as the Global Field Study and the Washington, D.C. Residency.

Beginning with students admitted in the fall of 2026, all students pursuing on-ground master's degree programs must complete a university-level experiential learning requirement. This requirement may be fulfilled through the curriculum, co-op, or other work- or industry-integrated learning experiences.
