MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA) PROGRAM AND POLICIES

ONLINE MBA

The Curry College online MBA is designed to give students the technical training and skills to support data-driven decision-making while building the higher-level strategic mindset needed to lead a business forward.  Faced with massive amounts of data availability and new technology, competency in analytics is a vital skill for corporate job seekers. Based on market research that supports this idea, the Curry College MBA aims to produce career-ready graduates capable of handling, analyzing, and interpreting data. Equally central in the curriculum are complimentary courses covering the core management competencies that train future managers to think across business functions, understand the competitive landscape, and plan strategically.  

The sequence of courses is designed with both effectiveness and efficiency in mind. While it allows students to obtain certification and credentials in a short time frame, essential skills are embedded and reinforced constantly throughout all courses in a certificate so that the holder is proficient and ready to apply their knowledge immediately upon completion of the three or four-course sequence.
