Masters of Business Administration (MBA)

The MBA program seeks to combine the best of conventional academic training with the best of field-based learning. Most typical business disciplines are represented in the curriculum because we feel that a successful manager must be conversant with a variety of decisions found in business. Thus, the MBA curriculum addresses decision-making found in accounting, information systems, operations, finance, human resources, marketing and law. The MBA program incorporates entrepreneurial, leadership and international elements into the courses as well as faith and learning components in forming decisions and ethical considerations.

The MBA online program is comprised of 36 credit hours and the curriculum is offered in a cohort delivery model. Students may complete the program in 18 months.

Face to face MBA students, as well as those in the SAUonline MBA program, participate in a four day residency as part of the international business course.
