University of North Carolina GreensboroProspective students to the Bryan MBA have their choice between the full-time, day program that welcomes ambitious students without requiring a professional or academic background in business and a part-time evening program for working professionals. Both programs are designed to prepare students for leadership roles in business, the global economy, and local communities. The Bryan School of Business and Economics--accreditation by AACSB-International assures students and the business community that the Bryan MBA has achieved the highest standards of business education in the country.

The curriculum emphasizes the development of students' leadership, communication, and analytical skills. Small classes guided by award-winning professors make the classroom an intellectually exciting and invigorating educational setting. Courses are offered on a seven-week module system that allows students to progress through the curriculum with speed and intensity. With an integrated curriculum, students progress from one module to the next with each level of the MBA building on the previous level(s). For the day students, the bookends of the Bryan MBA experience are an intensive boot camp during the first week and a major field research project in the final semester. Opportunities for internships and study abroad are also available.

Twenty-five percent of the curriculum is elective credit, allowing students to customize their Bryan MBAs. Students may use their electives to develop focuses in such areas as marketing, finance, human resource management, or international business, or to pursue one of several post-baccalaureate certificates, including new certificates in Supply Chain and Logistics, Management and Information Assurance, and Security and Privacy. UNCG is also one of the only institutions of higher education in the country to offer the MBA/MS in Gerontology dual degree.

UNCG is situated on one of the prettiest campuses in the country and Greensboro is a young and affordable mid-size city with the mountains and the ocean short drives away.
