MBA Programs
The College of Business Administration, through the departments of Accounting, Economics and Finance, Information and Decision Sciences,
and Marketing and Management, offers a Master of Business Administration degree. The MBA degree program is accredited by AACSB
International—the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The objective of the MBA program is to give students the
opportunity to prepare for executive careers in business or in institutions that use business techniques and policies in management and
administration. The program meets this objective by being broad in nature and aimed at general competence in overall management and
administration. It is designed for students from a wide range of backgrounds including healthcare, engineering, education, and business.
The MBA Core coursework is devoted to a broad understanding of the environment, controls, and practices, which are common to most
institutions. The remaining courses are determined by the student’s special area of interest or concern. Through this coursework students
will learn to:
- Identify and solve ethical problems;
- Be a competent financial manager;
- Work effectively as an individual and as a team player;
- Be a strategic manager;
- Be a successful communicator;
- Address diversity issues in the work place; and
- Use quantitative models and information technology with confidence.
Students can pursue their MBA through our Flexible MBA Program or our Accelerated MBA Program.
