Overview
The program requires a minimum of 12 three-unit graduate courses. There are nine required core courses and three elective courses. Electives are available in the areas of accounting, economics, finance, information technology, international business, management, and marketing. Electives are scheduled based upon student interest and demand.
Applicants whose undergraduate studies do not include the requisite foundational business subjects will be required to do some preparatory work. Foundational subject areas include the study of accounting, business strategy, economics, ethics, finance, international business, law, management, marketing, and statistics. Preparatory work may be satisfied in several ways: by certain graduate coursework, by undergraduate coursework, or by test. Students will develop a plan for satisfying preparatory work by consulting with their advisor; this plan must then be approved by the appropriate chairperson of the discipline(s) involved.
The graduate student in Woodbury University's MBA program, who typically enrolls in two courses per semester, may complete the MBA degree in two calendar years exclusive of preparatory courses. Classes may be taken on the weekends, evenings, or a combination of both course schedules. Admission is conducted during the months of September, January, and May.
Intensive MBA program
Applicants to the Intensive MBA program must have at least five years of full-time work experience. Students proactively engage in the learning process and share education, work, and life experiences in the classroom. By taking two courses each week in seven-week modules, students can earn their MBA in 48 weeks (exclusive of preparatory courses). The accelerated program admits students every seven weeks.
Accreditation
The School of Business is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
Careers
The Master's in Business Administration degree provides education in the theory and practice of business management. The MBA program not only helps students to develop skills that are highly valued by employers but also presents a theoretical context for solving many business problems. For any individual seeking to establish a career where the MBA will be valuable, industry-specific knowledge or experience will also be very important in defining a successful career path.
