In every segment of society today there is a need for leaders who have relevant skills, high integrity, and strong character. The programs of the Department of Graduate Business are designed to equip people to lead with excellence.

The Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) Program combines functional training in essential business skills with training in leadership, ethics, and global business. These programs develop and prepare leaders from a broad range of undergraduate majors. The M.B.A. degree can be taken on its own or paired with a concentration in International Business, Market Research and Consumer Insights, or Organizational Behavior.

The Master of Science (M.S.) in Leadership and Ethics Program combines organizational studies and strategic thinking with training in ethical leadership. The program integrates a body of knowledge infused with the core values of Christian faith and character that can be practically applied within organizations and communities in diverse contexts. The M.S. in Leadership and Ethics Program can be accomplished in just under two years.

Designed with the working professional in mind, classes are available in various formats. Students may choose to study online, at one of our physical locations, or in some combination of the two. Most courses are eight weeks in duration. Other program enhancements include studies trips to Asia, Latin America, and South America. Through our partnership with Soderquist Leadership, students also have access to an executive-level leadership development program.

All undergraduate and graduate business degree programs of the Soderquist College of Business are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), http://acbsp.org, (913) 339-9356.
