The MBA program represents a broad and relevent general management curriculum that integrates the functional disciplines of business and is enhanced by advanced management and contemporary topics coursework. The MBA program is available to students who have completed an undergraduate degree program -- both business and non-business majors. 

The MBA program provides the broad knowledge and skills necessary to become competent and responsible managers. With small classes of dedicated students, the program fosters a spirit of academic community. The program design provides graduates with the necessary skills to solve complex business problems and to successfully compete in the global business marketplace. Students learn to build teams, integrate disciplines, work under pressure and multitask. These same skills will serve them well when they leave campus.

The MBA curriculum is based on three levels of course work: foundation knowledge, advanced management topics, and the experiential learning component in the form of an Integrated Business Project (IBP) or research-based thesis. Students without an undergraduate degree in business must first demonstrate foundation knowledge of the fundamental components of business that are considered necessary to succeed in subsequent graduate level courses.  The advanced management topics courses were designed to add significant incremental learning and experiences beyond the foundational knowledge courses and offer students in-depth exposure to current topics in business. The cornerstone of the program is the experiential learning component which integrates the functional-area coursework throughout the program.
