The M.B.A. degree program challenges the adult learner to develop knowledge, skills and personal values through a well-planned, sequenced curriculum. This curriculum integrates increasingly advanced cognitive skills, awareness of self and of others, individual creativity, respect for the liberal arts, ethical practices and technology as life-long learning tools.
The instructors in the M.B.A. courses provide extensive real world education for real world application. Our instructors focus on providing theory coupled with practical applications that students can put to use immediately.
The M.B.A. program operates on the learning team model. All students in the learning team start the program at the same time.
