The
Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a 42-credit hour
program designed to meet the worldwide need for knowledgeable, principle-centered
leadership of organizations. Intended to prepare managers as both
economic and ethical leaders, the MBA program emphasizes the integration
and application of knowledge.
Students
connect with business; the connection deepens and broadens as their
programs proceed. New knowledge, skills, and tools quickly form
the basis of leadership in business decision-making. To that end,
the class structure deals with both the qualitative and quantitative
skills required of today's managers.
The
MBA program emphasizes the acquisition of technical management skills
within a peer group or management team context. Each course requires
the adoption of an individual and cooperative approach to problem
solving. Written problem analysis is required throughout the program,
as is the development of presentation skills. Courses are taken one at a time in sequential order.
The MBA
graduate will demonstrate the following abilities:
1.
Develop, execute, and evaluate complex business plans;
2. Assess personal management strengths and weaknesses;
3.
Plan, organize, and evaluate daily business activities of themselves
and others. Graduates will use resources in an efficient, effective,
ethical, and humanitarian way.
