About

The Mount Saint Mary’s Master of Business Administration program includes one semester of "Foundations" 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 MBA Program's distinguished 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 designed 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 Saint Mary’s MBA student participates in an international study trip to gain hands-on experience outside the U.S. and as part of this requirement, learns to prepare a country and industry analysis.
