Does this degree sound like the sort of learning experience you are seeking? If so, you've come to the right business school for advancing your education.

You may take MBA classes in three ways: in classrooms on the Whitewater campus; in classrooms in Madison, Wisconsin; and online. Students have the flexibility to take classes in one of these locations or to mix all three. You may take classes on a part-time or full-time basis, no matter which class delivery option you choose. The faculty and admission requirements are the same for all locations.

Our MBA develops business people who are capable of thinking globally, behaving ethically, and leading innovation. This three-pronged orientation is evident in the content of every MBA core class, in teaching methods, and in assigned activities. You will have opportunities to practice using critical thinking skills as you make strategic decisions in cases and projects. You will learn to negotiate and persuade while you develop your skills in project management. You will assess your own behavior and improve your ability to work in teams. You will be a leader.
