MBA - Business Administration
The Master of Business Administration program with a major in Business Administration prepares students to design solutions and strategies for complex business problems and opportunities, and integrate critical analysis with disciplines such as management, accounting, finance, and economics. Students participating in this program desire additional study in order to expand and enhance their ability to contribute to their career path, company, and society. This program allows students to be engaged in working in a paid or non-paid position, (provided this employment is appropriate for a training opportunity, considering the goals and requirements of the degree program), which may include current employment in a full- or part-time professional position, participation in job shadowing, or participation in an internship. Additionally, the program provides a foundation for future employment to extend the academic experience with practical training as noted above. Personal management capabilities will be evaluated and a plan for growth designed. Students will synthesize ethical standards in decision-making and strategy development to create appropriate communication strategies to achieve organizational goals. A biblical framework that guides interactions within the business environment and workplace will be integrated throughout the program of study.
Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:
-
