Seals

The one-year, daytime Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree is designed for qualified students interested in the management of human, material, and financial resources in business, government, and non-profit organizations. The program is tailored for those individuals who desire to retool their career, make a career change, or re-enter the workforce, as well as for more traditional domestic or international students who desire an accelerated MBA. The program begins in the summer semester and can be completed in less than one year. The MBA program is constructed around the following objectives:

  • Examination of the relationship between businesses and society in order to heighten each student's awareness of the social dilemmas and value conflicts which affect an organization's performance;
  • Development of greater understanding of human behavior in organizations along with developing the attitudes and skills necessary to achieve effective working relationships;
  • Development of analytical techniques and multi-disciplinary approaches useful in making and implementing decisions;
  • Development of the broad vision necessary to cope with complex managerial problems in a global environment;
  • Establishment of a real world experience base by maintaining continuous interaction with community organizations, profit and non-profit, through seminars and special programs for practicing managers and administrators.
