Master of Business Administration
Earning a Master's in Business Administration (MBA) can help professionals enhance their career opportunities, receive increased compensation, and job promotions. An MBA can provide the skills and knowledge necessary to start a new business, and many employers require an MBA for certain management or leadership positions.
MBA coursework involves a broad spectrum of business-related topics including accounting, statistics, economics, communications, management, and strategy. An MBA not only prepares students to work for financial institutions such as banks but also prepare them for management positions in other fields or as founders of start-up companies.
The Master of Business Administration and our graduate business programs are designed with the working professional in mind.
