Overview

The purpose of this program is to equip students with the advanced tools that will enable them to assume a leadership role in the business or professional community while gaining a Christ-centered perspective.

The Curriculum

The MBA curriculum focuses on critical aspects of research and scholarship in business and management. Students may enter the program during either of the first two terms of any session. At present, there are five sessions offered, with at least one point of entry at every term.

Leveling Courses

Students without sufficient background in accounting and statistics will be required to take the following: BUSN-5210 Business Statistics and BUSN-5220 Introduction to Accounting. These courses do not contribute to the total program hours.

MBA Exit Exam

The College of Business and Entrepreneurship requires all graduates of the Master of Business Administration program to complete an exit exam prior to graduation. The purpose of this exam is to evaluate students’ knowledge and skills developed through matriculation in the program and to compare the results to other students nationwide. Results are used to assist the college in making pertinent decisions to improve quality throughout the program and, in some cases, to assess the standards in specific courses. This third-party exam is administered in BUSN-6300, the capstone course, unless there are extenuating circumstances requiring the approval of the Associate Dean. The student's performance on the exit exam will be included as part of the course grade in BUSN-6300. Students cannot graduate without completing this exit exam.
