The Master of Business Administration program provides students with diverse undergraduate degrees and work experiences the opportunity to attain a graduate business degree. This degree program enables students to expand existing competencies, achieve professional goals, realize intellectual pursuits and serve their communities.

The MBA curriculum blends the student's professional experience with core business concepts and skills. Through specialized course selection and a variety of electives, the curriculum permits flexibility and field specific focus. The pedagogical approach emphasizes learning by combining experience, business concepts, comprehensive analysis and communication and team skills. This approach is achieved through lectures, experiential exercises, cases and field based studies.

Using cross functional techniques, the program provides an integrated examination of the implications of an interconnected global economic environment, technological change, ethical and social responsibility, racial and ethnic diversity and organizational transformation in managing a business. The MBA Graduate faculty is committed to teaching and learning as their primary responsibility with secondary emphasis on research scholarship and instructional development.
