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.
