The Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) is a valuable education for managers and executives, or those aspiring to become managers in any field of endeavor, whether in a business, technical, medical or other enterprise. No previous work experience is required. The curriculum is designed to recognize and accommodate substantial diversity in preparation and experience as well as the different goals and career expectations of students.

Students with undergraduate preparation in a non-business field may be required to complete up to an additional 24 credits of core business courses as a foundation for the advanced courses. The MBA program is 54 credits consisting of 24 core credit hours and 30 advanced credit hours.
