The Master of Business Administration is designed to develop skilled managers for positions of responsibility in a changing society. It provides students with the competitive edge that high performing organizations demand. The general administration courses stress the knowledge and skills needed to deal with organizations and personnel. The functional courses (accounting, finance, economics and marketing) develop specialized skills necessary for a firm’s success and growth. In addition, the MBA stresses leadership and the social and public responsibilities of those in business.
All of our MBA courses are offered at night to accommodate the schedules of full-time professionals who want to work as they learn.
We are in the process of phasing out our existing MBA and phasing in a new MBA. Click here to learn about the new MBA. The existing MBA is no longer accepting new students. Please choose one of the following to learn more about the existing Bloch MBA:
