The MBA program format requires students to assume more responsibility in the learning process. Facilitators work with students during each class to help them build connections between theory and practice. The program will be writing and project intensive, requiring students to move beyond summary to create original and applicable work.
Candidates for admission may be recent college graduates, those seeking a career change into the business or non-profit environment, or those looking to move into management positions. An undergraduate degree in business is not required, but students should be employed while they take classes.
