MBA Degree

The purpose of the Master of Business Administration program (MBA) is to offer an educational experience in business and management at the graduate level. The program is designed to provide a breadth in exposure to the business disciplines and facilitate integration of knowledge of the various disciplines. It is an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental degree program offered by the Graduate Division and the academic departments of the College of Business. Ethical concerns and international issues are emphasized throughout the curriculum.

The interdisciplinary nature of the program is in consonance with the needs of future administrators. The acquisition of knowledge of many facets of administrative activities, the accumulation and organization of relevant information, and the identification and solving of complex business problems requires such an interdisciplinary approach.

The curriculum leading to the MBA is administrative oriented and is characterized by breadth of course-field requirements. It does not require and, in fact, does not permit a major in any particular field. Many students desire a focused concentration in one subject area, and the two primary concentrations in the MBA, (1) Innovation and (2) Information Assurance, allow students to acquire specialized knowledge and skills to succeed as business managers and leaders. Other concentrations include accounting and finance.
