Program Highlights

Innovative Curriculum: The integrative MBA curriculum, aligned with the changing demands of global business, provides you with the needed skills to become an innovative and creative business leader. The curriculum integrates practical business application with leading-edge research. It provides the right blend of theory, and practice, offering a comprehensive and integrated education. The business world does not have lines dividing one discipline from another and neither do we. The integrated core allows you to think actively about the connections among disciplines. This is achieved by emphasizing key functional areas in integrative course modules, and team teaching across departmental disciplines. Students from a wide variety of backgrounds and prior undergraduate majors can benefit from the curriculum offered.

A Student Focused Environment: Events are planned each semester to facilitate interaction between MBA administration, faculty and students outside of the classroom. These events begin before the first class starts during the new student Orientation. The orientation includes a social dinner event at the end of orientation week. Each semester, current students meet with the Director for pizza and informal conversation. Several times each month the Director invites students to attend small group lunches to develop relationships among students and receive feedback regarding the MBA program. These events assist in the development of valuable relationships by providing informal discussions that enhance your learning experience.

Courses Designed With Your Schedule In Mind: Whether you are an employee moving up in your current company, in transition or a recent college graduate, the flexible course scheduling design will meet your needs. The MBA program accommodates the needs of full and part time students by offering courses during the evening hours.
