The LSU Flores MBA Program’s curriculum follows the traditional four
semester academic schedule, requiring 22 months to complete.
Courses reflect the core business principles needed for success and
allow you to specialize in a field of your choosing. Through the core
12-course curriculum and your specialization, you will learn to apply
modern business management principles to a wide range of
problem-solving and decision-making situations in complex, dynamic
environments. Additionally, you will develop the capacity to balance
quantitative and qualitative aspects in this process and become more
knowledgeable about the legal and ethical issues that frequently
confront business managers.
During the week prior to the start of your classes, you will participate
in Launch. This weeklong orientation prepares you for the program
with a series of professional development, academic, and social
activities, and it serves as an important time for you to get to know
your fellow classmates. You will be assigned to one of four cohorts,
which will be selected in a manner that insures every cohort has a
diverse set of individuals and perspectives. Each semester two cohorts
are paired for the core classes. This insures that by the end of your
first year you have shared classes with all of your colleagues.
For those interested, the LSU Flores MBA Program offers a dual
degree program with the LSU Paul M. Hebert Law Center in which
students can earn a JD/MBA in four years. If you are interested in
pursuing this option, you will need to apply to both schools
separately and adhere to the requirements for both programs.
LSU Flores MBA students typically pursue summer internships with
U.S. companies, but a greater emphasis has recently been placed on
international placement. Short-term, one- to two-week, international
study trips to China and Brazil are already in place, and a new study
trip to India is under development. Globalization is a strategic
initiative for the E. J. Ourso College, and scholarships for these
international study trips to BRIC countries are available. BRIC refers to
four countries–Brazil, Russia, India, and China–that have been
identified as the largest growth economies in the foreseeable future.
Many of our current alumni work in, and lead, multinationals. We
expect future graduates to find significant opportunities in the global
economy, and preparing for this future is important. LSU Flores MBA
alumni, recruiters, and the business community are passionately
involved in fundraising for these international scholarships.

U.S. in a variety of fields and, more recently, more emphasis is placed on international placement.
Many students also work as graduate assistants for a unit in the E. J. Ourso College of Business or across the LSU campus.
Students also find time for international study trips and vacations.
