We prepare students to embark on the next phase of their lives, whether it is entering the work environment or pursuing graduate studies, with a powerful skill set. Students will develop the ability to assess a situation, choose effective business tools, and adapt to often complex and changing environments.

We offer several challenging and focused baccalaureate options for both undergraduate residential programs and for distance learning students through MBU Online. Our bachelor of arts in business has a strong broad-based core covering all the fundamental components necessary to understand the business world and the dynamic environment in which it operates. Students complete the core, as well as at least one area of emphasis, specific to their needs and interests. Emphasis areas include: management, marketing, accounting, human resource management, and project management. (Note: Students may complete no more than two areas of emphasis.)

A bachelor of science in business is also available.

Finally, residential and online students may enroll in our BA in Marketing program. This exciting program blends business and marketing, and is informed by industry experts who will guide students through real world scenarios in this comprehensive and cutting edge program.
