A multi-country, full-time and part-time, and traditional and nontraditional student body enriches the program. Stamper Hall, the home of the Department of Business and Economics which offers the MBA program, has modern, state-of-the-art facilities including wired and instructional technology-equipped classrooms and computer laboratories. A domestic and international faculty enables a rich, diverse, and enduring learning experience for students.

"The Lincoln University MBA program is very challenging," a graduating MBA student said. "I was made to work hard. There were times I thought this was hard work for its own sake. Professors were tough but friendly. I have learned a lot in the program and am confident that I am prepared to be successful in the world of work."
