Academic Program

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a general purpose management degree that prepares individuals for administrative positions in business, industry, or government. The program accommodates students who have business and non-business baccalaureate degrees. The interdisciplinary curriculum provides the student with a broad understanding of management and its role in society. Emphasis is placed upon economics, human behavior, organizations, accounting, communications skills, operations, marketing, finance, management information systems, and their impacts on managerial decision making. The program focuses on the practical application of these tools, techniques, and concept.

The MBA is a professional degree and therefore has no language or thesis requirement. Research projects and formal papers, however, are required in specific courses. The program can be completed with 30 semester credits of graduate course work, depending upon the student's prior education.
