The Program

The Mount St. Mary's five semester year-round MBA program includes one semester of "foundation" courses which may be waived if the applicant documents successful completion of equivalent courses in his or her undergraduate studies. The program spans eighteen months and is designed to meet the global need for effective
leaders who can guide change by using value-based decision-making.

The Mount's outstanding faculty will prepare you to meet the challenges of today's business environment by offering an innovative, collaborative and globally oriented curriculum. The program is desiged with the understanding that managers face global and cross-disciplinary challenges on a daily basis. These global challenges are not merely studied at the theoretical level. Every Mount St. Mary's MBA student participates in a minimum of one international study trip to gain hand-on experience with international companies outside the U.S. and as part of this requirement, learns to prepare a country and industry analysis.

A unique feature of the Master of Business Administration program is that it replaces the traditional course-by-course Master's curriculum with theme-based modules. By blending business disciplines that are traditionally kept separate (like marketing, finance, and business law), you will develop the "big picture" view of how disciplines come together in a real business environment. You will also have an opportunity in your final semester to choose a concentration in Entrepreneurship, Organizational Leadership, Non Profit Management, or Health Services Management. The program will culminate in a real world final project in either your own organization or a choice of another one. To master in business administration at Mount St. Mary's College is to come to understand that today's international, global business environment is dynamic, fluid, and complex; requiring successful business leaders to be able to understand and respond to patterns and market conditions in constant flux.
