Gannon University’s MBA program was founded in 1970 and our experience as the region’s first and largest graduate school of business has taught us some important lessons. Simply having a master’s degree, regardless of the type of degree or apparent status of the degree-granting institution, is no assurance of success. To succeed in business, individuals need applicable skills, an understanding of the world of business, and an appreciation for work. Our network of over 1,400 MBA alumni is a proud testament to Gannon’s ability to make success happen for its graduate students. Gannon MBA Alumni include Presidents/CEO’s, Vice Presidents, CFO’s, Treasurers, and Managing Partners. In addition, over 60 have earned advanced degrees, including doctorates from some of the most prestigious academic institutions in North America (Indiana University, University of Michigan and University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, Stanford University to name a few). More than 45 Gannon MBA’s are currently teaching in colleges and universities.

Gannon's Master of Business Administration in Business Analytics is a STEM Designated Degree Program.

The Dahlkemper School of Business has uniquely infused quantitative methods into the traditional MBA coursework focused on the functional areas of business. Students start the program with a course in the Technological Environment of Business and then progress to using more sophisticated technologies in courses like Strategic Global Marketing & Analytics, Financial Management & Modeling, and Organizational Communication & Data Visualization. The program offers students an opportunity to delve deeper into the foundations of business in an applied environment, and one where business and technology go hand-in-hand.

The ambiguous and complex nature of today's business environment calls for leaders with cutting-edge skills who can leverage modern technology to make swift and accurate data-driven, strategic decisions. Across a wide range of industries, our graduates are poised to add immediate value to any organization.
