Master of Business Administration

Program details

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) provides a quality graduate program for experienced professionals who want to assume management and leadership positions in a variety of organizational settings. The program encompasses the knowledge and skills necessary for effectively managing both the technical and the human sides of organizations.

The curriculum consists of foundation courses, core courses, and concentration courses that combine business theory with current business practice. The foundation and core courses provide a common body of knowledge required for effective performance in today's unpredictable global business environment. Complementing this common body of knowledge are nine concentrations from which students can choose, depending on their professional interests:

• Accounting
• Contracts and Procurement Management
• General Management
• Health Care Management
• Information Security and Assurance
• Management Technology
• Organization and Human Resource Development
• Project Management

The program is particularly designed for those individuals whose job and family responsibilities require the flexibility to pursue the MBA on a part-time basis without interrupting their careers.
