Professional Master of Business Administration (non-ACBSP)

The Professional Master of Business Administration* (M.B.A.) degree is a relevant and rigorous graduate degree program that prepares individuals for leadership roles in firms and organizations where they are expected to add value to those enterprises. The courses are offered entirely online in 8-week formats, with some courses requiring periodic (maximum of two times per term) “live” participation, which can be conducted from a distance.

The M.B.A. degree is a globally recognized credential in the business community and students will take courses that prepare them for high demand professions. Students may blend 15 credits of core material with a variety of electives in topics of interest, or they may choose one of six areas of study: Accounting, Data Analytics, Finance, Healthcare Management, Human Resource Management, or Marketing.

The curriculum of an M.B.A. program is typically more quantitative in orientation than a management or leadership curriculum.
