Overview
A Morgan education prepares a student to compete for managerial track careers in leading organizations. There is heavy emphasis on team, communication, decision making, and problem solving skills in the classroom and leadership overlay activities outside it. Leadership institutes, information sessions, guest speakers, competitions, and training programs fortify Morgan's leadership culture.
The Morgan Advantage is the pervasive leadership culture designed to shape critical business skills and attitudes. It is anchored by a classroom where students interact to solve real-world issues. These are necessary conditions to successful managerial careers in leading organizations.
Morgan has a long tradition in the MBA business. The MBA was originally formed in the mid 1960s. Since then several thousand graduates have established careers around the world. The Morgan alumni network is important in a student's success.
The MBA is AACSB accredited and is intensely managed to assure the learning of students throughout the program. While at Morgan, a student can customize their MBA. Most students choose electives that best prepare them for their careers. This might include elective courses in areas like marketing, finance, and international business. Choosing courses from other areas like engineering, public health, or communications offers unparalleled ability to customize a course of study.
The Morgan MBA Student Advisory Board is very active in the programming of club activities, executive speakers, and the student case competitions throughout the year. Without question, the SAB is core to the MBA success.
These weekly career-oriented activities are called the "Leadership Overlay." It is an intensive overlay of information sessions, training sessions, and executive talks over the course of the year. It provides exposure, information, and confidence for students. Adding to this strength is the continuing effort to build strategic partnerships with Morgan's growing engineering and science schools. The influence of these schools tilts the MBA culture in a unique way adding opportunity for student growth.
Morgan teams compete at the intercollegiate level against leading schools of business in case and entrepreneurial competitions. Complementing this activity is an intense set of in-house case competitions. Along with building skills and confidence, these competitions add intangibly to the culture in the hallways of school.
