Program Overview
At first glance, 36 credits might sound daunting – especially if you’re a working professional. But at Concordia, you can complete your MBA in less than two years - while still working full-time. Each class lasts eight weeks and is taught by industry experts in the classroom or online.
You’ll take five newly revamped core classes, required for every student, four classes chosen from your concentration area, two experiential learning courses and finalize your experience with a capstone course.
Our curriculum includes STEM courses and concentrations, weeklong international study abroad options to China and Austria, dual degree opportunities and internship credits. You’ll also get industry-related exam prep and certificates in your concentration area. Because we want to get you started on the right track, we accept up to eighteen graduate transfer credits. Plus, no GMAT or GRE are required to apply.
The Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center promises to be a place where entrepreneurial collaboration and healthcare innovation can occur together. Learn more about the new academic building here.
What makes this MBA different from the rest?
We know you have a lot of options when choosing an MBA program. At Concordia University, we have built an MBA that helps students thrive in mind, body, and spirit. Led by our Christ-centered values, our students will learn to demonstrate uncompromising compassion and unmatched competitive skill. Our MBA program is built on three pillars of student success:
- Not just a number – All MBA students are assigned a Student Engagement Specialist that is there to help them every step of the way. On top of that, our faculty are committed to delivering a 5-star experience to students.
- EXPERIENCE the difference – All MBA students enroll in 6 credits of experiential learning. These credits help meet students where they are at to develop employability skills. Whether you are looking to gain work experience in a business-related field (internship), gain global perspective (study abroad), improve your job market skills (business coaching), find a mentor (the mentor initiative), or enhance your skills (Six Sigma, project management), we have the experiences you are looking for.
- Upskill – Our business curriculum provides a strong foundation in using quantitative and qualitative data to be an effective decision maker, strategist, and leader. Students also choose from one of 14 concentrations to help them develop expertise in their area of interest.
