The College of Business Administration offers an MBA program that is fully accredited by the AACSB International--the highest attainable level of accreditation. In addition to the general management MBA, the program includes two specific concentrations, accounting and management information systems (MIS). The MBA degree may be obtained through the regular, full-time program or by distance learning.
The distance-based MBA has the same admission requirements and the same program of study as the on-campus MBA. The distance-learning approach features faculty lectures on CD-ROM combined with Internet communication among students and faculty to facilitate the learning process. Case discussions, virtual project teams, and other active-learning approaches are used to make a strong connection between academic subjects and the issues facing managers in today’s global, highly technological business environment.
