Graduate and Executive Studies in Business

Master of Business Administration

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is designed to prepare leaders in an increasingly dynamic and global business environment.    The MBA is offered by the College of Business Administration in full-time, evening, and executive formats.

MBA students have undergraduate preparation in business, engineering, sciences, liberal arts, law, technology, or other fields.  Graduates advance in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations.

Full-time MBA students may add internships and specializations in finance or organizational change.  Significant financial assistance is available through a graduate assistantship program.

The Evening MBA program allows working individuals to begin in any semester and offers classes Monday through Thursday evenings.  Depending upon their schedules, students generally take one or two classes during fall, spring, and summer terms.
