UMass Lowell's Online MBA Program is designed
to prepare managers to effectively lead organizations in a
rapidly changing and diverse regional, national, and global
competitive environment. Offered through the College of
Management, the program offers smaller class sizes to ensure
ample opportunity for interaction among students and faculty.
|
The curriculum integrates theory and practice for students through
extensive use of case studies, actual industry projects, and
experiential learning. Concentrations in Finance, Accounting or Information Systems
enable the students to specialize in these fields. Alternatively,
students have the option of customizing their three electives to best
meet their professional development needs.
| All of the faculty who teach
in the MBA program are highly-credentialed professionals who have
extensive experience and scholarship in their respective fields and the
College was recently ranked by Princeton Review as one of America's Best
Business Schools. The program is 30-42 credits, depending on educational
background. This degree is available completely online or on campus.
Students may also choose to mix online and on campus courses to complete
their degree. For more information, visit the
College
of Management website. |
