8. FAQs for Concordia University Texas
CTX’s Hybrid Professional MBA—available as a General MBA (32 credits) or four focused tracks (Leadership ODL, AI Strategy & Leadership, Data Science & Analytics Leadership, Learning Technology & Innovation) - is structured so F-1 students can request CPT in their first semester. The program admits new cohorts three times a year: January, May and August.
The MBA follows a 16-week semester system (Fall, Spring, Summer). International students must attend one mandatory on-site weekend (Fri–Sun, ~20 hours) each semester and maintain a minimum of 6 credits per term - typically one hybrid course plus one fully online course. Missing the residency can jeopardize F-1 status.
- Part-Time CPT: up to 20 hours per week during the semester.
- Full-Time CPT: more than 20 hours per week.
Using full-time CPT for 12 consecutive months or more eliminates OPT eligibility after graduation; part-time CPT and shorter full-time periods do not.
- General MBA: 32 credits; typical completion in 20–24 months.
- Specialized concentrations: 44 credits; roughly two years to finish.
- Official transcript with GPA 3.0 (lower GPAs may petition).
- English proficiency: IELTS 6.5 | TOEFL iBT 80 | Duolingo 120 | PTE 64 (waived if prior instruction was in English).
