Holy Family University MBA Program
Although the MBA is one of the most recognizable advanced degrees in business, all MBA programs do not look alike. It is important that you find the right program for you. Our MBA program is built around the idea that that learning should be different from imitating. We want to provide courses that are both interesting and relevant to adult students. We do this with classes that continually ask you to combine your work experience with the textbook learning. Students and employers have found this very beneficial, and assignments and projects completed by MBA students have been implemented at their workplace and published in professional journals. The best candidates for the MBA program are those managers who are eager to become actively engaged in the learning process through critical reflection, oral and written communication, and a rigorous curiosity.

The MBA at Holy Family University includes ten courses (30 credits) covering the necessary content areas expected of the MBA graduate. The program is open to all folks currently working in business, with three years of progressive managerial experience. This experience will be essential for success in the accelerated format. Each MBA class will typically meet once a week, for eight weeks.
This format allows 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 MBA program will be writing and project intensive, requiring students to move beyond summary to create original and applicable work.
