The Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program is designed to prepare students with the necessary skills and knowledge to understand, manage, or create financial, business and leadership careers at the mid to upper level of management. The program emphasizes the identification, analysis, and solution of complex management problems within a context requiring both technical understanding and balanced decision-making.

Management consists of the rational assessment of a situation and the systematic selection of goals and purposes; the systematic development of strategies to achieve these goals; the marshalling of the required resources; the rational design, organization, direction, and control of the activities required to attain the selected purposes, and finally, motivation and rewarding of people to do the work.

To be an effective manager an individual needs a broad knowledge of the practice of management, the workings of business and the economy, and the behavior of people. Effective management requires persistence, tough-mindedness, hard work, intelligence, analytic ability, and perhaps most importantly, tolerance and good will.

The M.B.A program provides adult learners with a comprehensive foundation for business decision- making and prepares them to lead effectively in a rapidly changing business environment.
