Master of Business Administration
The MBA is designed to prepare individuals for responsible managerial positions by providing background in the major functional areas of business operations. Curriculum emphasis is placed on the development of managerial generalists. The MBA is a widely-recognized, professional degree targeted toward those who occupy or aspire to mid-level/senior-level positions.
The MBA program is geared for the part-time student, and consequently, all classes are offered at night. While sufficient courses are available each term for a student to be enrolled full-time, the timing, sequence, and amount of offerings are dictated by the needs of those progressing through the program as part-time students.
The length of time required to complete course requirements varies according to the student's undergraduate preparation for graduate-level study.
Business Administration students are required to take written comprehensive examinations which are an integral part of Management 790. Students earning a grade of at least a "B" in the course have represented successful completion of a comprehensive exam. Students not earning at least a "B" will be required to take a comprehensive exam following the existing catalog guidelines regarding repeating the comprehensive examination. Students must take Management 790 in their last semester and must contact the Coordinator of Graduate Programs in Business Administration relative to scheduling.
