Summer Institutes

Courses are completed over 12 weeks in the summer.  Students attend classes two weeknights per week and on Saturdays during the program. Students who complete a Summer Institute program hit the ground running, fully prepared for success in Massey’s MBA or MAcc program. All students needing prerequisite coursework through Massey must apply for Summer term to the graduate program they intend to matriculate to in Fall. 

Convenient online (SBI) and in-person (SAI) instruction begins mid-May and continues through late-July, early August, with all classes taught by Massey graduate faculty.
