Through a combination of a unique integrated approach to the common body of business knowledge, practical applications, and innovative electives, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the business environment while cultivating the ability to lead and drive change across diverse industries. 

Quality education for the working professional!

One of the prime advantages of the Satish & Yasmin Gupta College of Business at the University of Dallas is quality education created for the working professional. The Satish & Yasmin Gupta College of Business uses a trimester system, with fall, spring, and summer terms to allow for accelerated time to completion. Classes are offered in an evening format at our Irving campus or online. 

For international students, it is a distinct advantage to attend classes with current working professionals in the field where they aspire to work. Upon graduation, students may apply for the 12-month Optional Practical Training (OPT).
