The Donald and Sally Lucas Graduate School of Business provides advanced business and professional education to high potential individuals with diverse backgrounds and work experiences.

The Donald and Sally Lucas Graduate School of Business programs bring together an interesting mix of full-time and part-time students from a variety of academic, career, and cultural backgrounds. Given SJSU's Silicon Valley location, students come to the classroom with a wealth of real-world experience, including technical expertise (in engineering or software, for example), and wanting to develop business acumen, advance in managerial positions, or deepen their knowledge base.
The programs are innovative in design and delivery and offer a range of academically challenging and multi-disciplinary opportunities that enable students to improve and keep pace continuously within the dynamic Silicon Valley environment.
The Master of Business Administration provides advanced management education with the opportunity for a generalist degree. Frequently, students are working full-time, are in transition refocusing their careers, are from foreign countries, or are full-time students. The MBA degree is available in both an on-campus and off-campus format, with identical admission requirements, course work, faculty and student backgrounds. The MBA degree is also available in a one-year accelerated cohort format. The primary difference in programs is delivery mode.
1. The On-Campus MBA program is offered in a 16-week semester format, with students typically taking one or two courses each fall and spring semester. Depending on the student's undergraduate background and commitment, the MBA degree is typically completed in 36 months.
2. The accelerated Off-Campus MBA program is offered at the Donald and Sally Lucas Graduate School of Business offsite facility. It is offered on a year-round basis in consecutive eight-week sessions. Course work is very compressed and intensive. Students take only one course per eight-week session. Depending on the student's undergraduate background and commitment, the MBA is typically completed in 24 months. This program is non-state funded. Students pay a per-unit tuition. (The state fee schedule does not apply to the accelerated Off-Campus MBA program).
3. The MBA-One is a one-year, full-time, daytime MBA program designed for non-working individuals who prefer an executive cohort style of learning. The lock-step program design allows the completion of the MBA degree in one year. It is offered at the Donald and Sally Lucas Graduate School of Business offsite facility. The MBA-One program is open to individuals from all undergraduate disciplines. This program is non-state funded. Students pay a per-unit tuition. (The state fee schedule does not apply to the MBA-One program.)
4. The MS - Accountancy (MSA) program is a full-time, daytime, 12-month program that admits a limited number of only non-accounting undergraduate majors on the basis of a competitive process that includes assessments by practitioners as well as faculty. Course work is structured around the accounting cycle to strongly encourage students to combine academic learning with accounting work experience (or internships) as well-rounded preparation for careers in professional accounting.
5. The MS - Taxation (MST) program offers students technical knowledge, an understanding of tax policies and research and analytical skills development. Study of the tax law is enhanced through discussion of related accounting, legal and financial concepts and issues. The academic calendar is designed around the scheduling needs of working tax professionals. The extensive range of courses allows students flexibility in career specialization. The MST is offered at the Donald and Sally Lucas Graduate School of Business offsite facility. This program is non-state funded. Students pay a per-unit tuition. (The state fee schedule does not apply to the MST program.)
6. The MS - Transportation Management (MSTM) provides opportunities for individuals from both technical and non-technical disciplines to obtain advanced specialization in surface transportation management. The program draws on the latest in transportation policy, administration and management concepts from several disciplines, and enables students to develop a fuller understanding of the diverse and sometimes conflicting needs of modern transportation management for better serving their employers, community and society. The degree is available through distance-learning facilities and electronic technologies, providing an opportunity for students to obtain the degree at remote locations. This program is non-state funded. Students pay a per-unit tuition. (The state fee schedule does not apply to the MSTM program.)
7. The MBA/MSE - Off-Campus accelerated evening sequential degree program is a combined program for engineering professionals who wish to pursue technical and executive management positions. Typically this program takes three years to complete. This program is non-state funded. Students pay a per-unit tuition. (The state fee schedule does not apply to the MBA/MSE program.)
