DGCE > Graduate > Master of Business Administration (MBA)

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program is
designed for mid-level managers and professionals in business
and other organizations who aspire to greater leadership and
management roles. Students learn to link theory with practice,
and to understand the multi-disciplinary demands of a business
environment that is increasingly global, technology-oriented, and
diverse.

The MBA program provides graduates with the cumulative
knowledge, skills and capacities identified and supported by the
Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB):

• Capacity to lead in organizational situations.
• Capacity to apply knowledge in new and unfamiliar circumstances through a conceptual understanding of relevant disciplines.
• Capacity to adapt and innovate to solve problems, to cope with unforeseen events, and to manage in unpredictable environments.

At the completion of the MBA program, students are expected to apply their knowledge and understanding of strategy, economics, management science, finance, marketing, information technology and management to identify business problems and opportunities; to analyze and develop solutions; to implement tactical and strategic approaches to overcome problems and realize the opportunities.
