Hybrid Structure Offers Participants Flexibility
Launching in 2024, the MSBA-WP structure is intended to maximize working professionals’ ability to advance their education and careers while continuing to work full-time. It will feature a unique blend of weekly live, faculty-led, interactive online classes.

The 2024 cohort will hold its in-person weekend sessions in Nashville. Other locations may be selected for future cohorts.
