As a generalized business master’s degree program, the MBA includes preparation for leading an organization, managing in a diverse global context, thinking creatively, making sound decisions and exercising good judgment under uncertainty, and integrating knowledge across fields. The curriculum associated with our MBA program is designed to provide the knowledge necessary to succeed as a general manager/business owner. Six core concentrations are available through the MBA program, including: Accounting, Enterprise Systems, Finance, Marketing, and Project Management. Additionally, dual/joint MBA degrees exist with the PharmD, MDiv, and Master of Global Development.
Accelerated (3+2 program)
This is an accelerated version of the MBA program which provides you with the ability to complete both your undergraduate and MBA degrees within five academic years. The 3+2 program ensures that all undergraduate pre-requisites are automatically met when you transition to graduate status. It affords you the added benefit of providing dual-credit for two undergraduate courses, thereby only requiring 30 MBA credits versus the traditional 36-credits.
