This transformative degree focuses on strategy and innovation and works to develop the next generation of global business leaders within their chosen career field. Format Our MBA is flexible to meet the needs of our diverse population and can be completed in a full- or part-time status.

The degree can be completed in as few as nine months or extended over 21 months based on the number of classes taken each term.
