The M.B.A. Program combines functional training in essential business skills with training in leadership, ethics, and global business.

The M.B.A. degree can be taken on its own or paired with a concentration in Accounting, Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Design Thinking and Innovation, Healthcare Administration, International Business, Organizational Leadership, Management, or Marketing Analytics. These programs develop and prepare leaders from a broad range of undergraduate majors. The 45-hour program is designed to include the necessary foundational courses for those who do not have an undergraduate degree in business.
