Master of Business Administration (MBA)

The Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) develops students for the role managers play in defining business problems, assessing information, considering alternatives, and choosing the best solution. Imagine the manager as the hub of a wheel. From the hub radiates spokes, each representing a specific discipline, such as finance, law, marketing, operations, information systems, etc. Each of these “spokes” generates inputs for the manager to assess and incorporate into the decision-making process. The manager is a critical user of these inputs in making the decision. Although generally not the original producer of the information, the manager must be able to assess the validity and reliability of the information in building a business case for the decision. To prepare students for this decision-making role, the MBA has been designed to introduce the theory or principles that frame a wide range of problems or issues in each of the courses. The most current techniques or tools are applied to these theories to allow students to practice making decisions to solve a wide range of problems.
