Graduate Programs
 

Executive MBA Program (EMBA)

The Executive MBA Program (EMBA) is designed for more experienced students who are making the transition from functional specialists in business or the professions to general management. Students in the EMBA program earn the MBA degree in 22 months by attending classes every other weekend and through participation in several five- or six-day intensive residential class sessions.  Visit the Anderson Graduate School of Management for more information.

Master of Fine Arts (MFA)

The MFA in Creative Writing and Writing for the Performing Arts is a unique two-year program that provides writers with a path toward publication and production in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, screenwriting or playwriting. Students explore multiple genres, allowing for a cross-disciplinary approach that is ideal for writers seeking the artistic latitude to move fluidly within the field. Course work includes workshops, critical studies, and theory.

The MFA program is offered in two formats at UCR Palm Desert; a traditional, full residency program and a new two-year low residency program where students come together twice a year for a 10-day residency period and interact electronically between residency periods. Visit MFA for more information.
