Educational excellence is enhanced by faculty engaged in research and creative activity as well as professional service to the profession, the community, and the University.

Overview

The MBA Program is fully accredited by the AACSB International (the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). AACSB International-Accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education; it represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide.

The MBA degree is a broad-based program designed to give the student exposure to management and analytical decision-making skills necessary to function in a changing business environment. We offer two different plans for students to obtain an MBA degree from UT-Pan American: the on-site Professional MBA program, and the MBA on-line program. Having a bachelors degree in a business discipline is not required for either program.

For additional information about either program, please contact the Director of the MBA Program at 956/665-3313 or at mbaprog@utpa.edu. Admission applications are accepted only for Spring and Fall semesters.

This degree is right for you if…

• You are in an executive or administrative position and want to enhance your career opportunities;
• If you want to broaden your business knowledge to be a more effective and self-assured manager;
• If you are just starting your business career and want to expand your knowledge;
• If you want to network with other business professionals in a learning environment;
• If you plan to pursue a Ph.D in Business Administration.

The MBA degree is a broad-based, 36-hour program that may be completed in two academic years.

Program courses are scheduled during evening hours or weekends

The MBA Program is open to students who have a bachelor's degree in any discipline, however, foundation courses or their equivalents should be taken prior to enrolling in MBA program courses.
