Enhanced MBA Option
Master of Business Administration with Post Baccalaureate Diploma Specialization (18 – 24 months)
For students wishing to enhance their Master of Business Administration (MBA) studies with a specific concentration, the School of Business and Economics offers a series of Post Baccalaureate Diploma Specializations in the following areas:
• Accounting
• Finance
• Human Resources
• International Business
• Marketing
• New Venture Creation
This combined MBA program with a specialized Post Baccalaureate Diploma is designed to enhance a student’s MBA studies with a concentrated focus in key business areas. The combination of receiving both an MBA and Post Baccalaureate Diploma Specialization enables graduated students to bring to the workforce both the advanced management skills and attributes of a Master of Business Administration, and specialized knowledge of specific operational areas within an organization - a powerful combination for any new graduate looking to make an impact.
The Specialized Diploma portion may be completed either before or after the core MBA program. Students will thus receive two credentials; the Master of Business Administration and a Post Baccalaureate Diploma.
Part-time Study
A limited number of students will be accepted into the MBA program each year on a part-time basis. They should be able to complete the program in three to five years depending on the number of courses taken each semester. No part-time student will be allowed to take longer than seven years without the permission of the MBA Committee.
