The College of Business Administration, through the departments of Accounting, Economics and Finance, Information and Decision Sciences, and Marketing and Management, offers a Master of Business Administration degree. The MBA degree program is accredited by AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The objective of the MBA program is to give students the opportunity to prepare for executive careers in business or in institutions that use business techniques and policies in management and administration. The program meets this objective by being broad in nature and aimed at general competence in overall management and administration. The majority of the coursework is devoted to a broad understanding of the environment, controls, and practices, which are
common to most institutions.
