Program Length
The Mount Saint Mary’s MBA program includes one semester of "Foundations" courses which may be waived if the applicant documents successful completion of equivalent courses in his or her undergraduate studies. The program spans eighteen months and is designed to meet the global need for effective leaders who can guide change by using value-based decision-making.
Curriculum Design
The MBA Program's distinguished faculty will prepare you to meet the challenges of today’s business environment by offering an innovative, collaborative and globally oriented curriculum. The program is designed with the understanding that managers face global and cross-disciplinary challenges on a daily basis. These global challenges are not merely studied at the theoretical level. Every Mount Saint Mary’s MBA student participates in an international study trip to gain hands-on experience outside the U.S. and as part of this requirement, learns to prepare a country and industry analysis.
A unique feature of the masters in business administration program is that it replaces the traditional course-by-course masters curriculum with theme-based modules. By blending business disciplines that are traditionally kept separate (like marketing, finance, and business law), you will develop the “big picture” view of how disciplines come together in a real business environment. You will also have an opportunity in your final semester to choose a concentration in Entrepreneurship/Social Entrepreneurship, Organizational Leadership, or Project Management. The program culminates in a real world final project where your team works with a company or non-profit to solve a business problem, market a new product or service, or develop a strategy for future growth.
The Mount Saint Mary's MBA Program is focused on today's dynamic, fluid, and complex global business environment that requires successful business leaders to understand and respond to patterns and market conditions in constant flux.
