Master of Business Administration
Our masters degree in business administration prepares students to assume leadership roles in their organization.
Paced to suit the needs of career-oriented candidates, the program is tailored to the demands of students who are
preparing for greater professional challenges.
The curriculum for the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) reflects the school's mission to emphasize
functional knowledge, skills, and capabilities. The various influences of ethics, global community, politics, society,
and diversity are interwoven throughout the school s graduate courses. Faculty use case studies in many courses to
bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Small class sizes give students important one-on-one experience with faculty members whose research, teaching, and
consulting experience puts them on the cutting edge of regional, national, and global business issues. To accommodate
students from a broad spectrum of north central Indiana and southwestern Michigan locations, master s degree classes
are taught on both the South Bend and Elkhart campuses.
