Overview

The Academic Program

The Full-Time Global Business Administration program at University of Hawaii at Manoa features a first-year cohort experience designed to help students learn the inner-workings of group dynamics crucial for the leaders of today’s organizations. The MBA curriculum is predominantly focused in international business and stresses developing the skills and breadth of judgment required of top-level managers and executives in both the private and public sectors.

Students spend their first year learning the principles and theories of management strategies through a sampling of courses in various functional areas. Next, students spend the summer taking part in an internship experience allowing them to build upon the foundation created during their first year. The second year is spent customizing their degree through the completion of seven elective courses.

With the assistance of an advisor, students select courses that fit their personal and professional goals and interests. In their last semester, students register in the consulting practicum, synthesizing and applying knowledge from their MBA course work to an existing organization.
