Management MBA (on-campus)
About This Program
Our Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Management gives you practical skills through classroom and hands-on learning experiences. In this hybrid program, you will explore fundamental business principles and focused studies in one of our specializations. If you are interested in more generalized business studies or want to create your own focused area of study, follow our general studies track and choose your own electives.
MBA foundations courses have a live, campus-based classroom component taught in the beautifully refurbished and historic Clark City Center campus in Utica, NY. These live meetings provide students the opportunity to meet with peers, faculty members, and members of the local business community to explore contemporary business practices and issues. Online supplemental learning components will deepen your knowledge and help expand your understanding and skill.
This 30-credit MBA degree has ACBSP accreditation (Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs). Recognition from this leading business school accreditor affirms you will receive a high-quality business education from Utica University.
