More information for prospective Master of Business Administration students

The Master of Business Administration is a professional degree that was developed in the U.S. as the economy evolved and businesses began to seek scientific approaches to management. Courses include accounting, managerial economics, operations research, organizational behavior, economic policy, and business statistics/quantitative analysis, financial management, human resource management, marketing management, and operations management, and business ethics, corporate social responsibility, or corporate governance.

Many programs offer a variety of specializations or concentrations in areas like accounting, finance, healthcare administration, marketing, or a wide range of elective courses that allow the student to customize their program. Most also offer a capstone or internship, to allow students to apply their learning to real-world settings. Some require students to pass a comprehensive exam at the end of the program. Students who are interested in this program have a wealth of options from which to choose. Interested students with significant business experience (usually over five years, with managerial and leadership experience) may consider applying to an Executive MBA program; there are over a dozen online EMBAs in the market today.
