Mount St. Mary's College

Mount St. Mary's College was founded in 1925 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet as a Catholic liberal arts college. Our graduate programs are a transforming experience where students explore a world of ideas while immersed in a richly diverse and close-knit learning community. Our measure of success is graduates who are committed to using their knowledge and skills to better themselves, their environment and the world.

Master of Business Administration (MBA)

For more than 40 years, the Mount has successfully prepared undergraduate business students for professional careers in accounting, marketing, management and international business. We are now pleased to offer an MBA in a weekend format to individuals holding a bachelor's degree in any field.

This 4 semester program that spans 16 months is designed to meet the global need for effective leaders who can guide change by using value-based decision making. The Mount's outstanding 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. So that you can gain hands-on experience in other countries with international companies, you will participate in a minimum of one international study trip to prepare a country and industry analysis.

Each incoming class will form a cohort of 20 to 30 students, moving together through a richly integrated curriculum. A unique feature of the program is that it replaces the traditional course-by-course master's curriculum with theme-based modules. By blending business disciplines that are traditionally kept separate, like marketing, finance and business law, you will develop the big picture view of how disciplines come together in a real business environment.

You will also have an opportunity in your final semester to choose a concentration in one of the following areas:

• Entrepreneurship
• Organizational leadership
• Not-for-profit management
• Health services management

During this last semester, you will work on a real-life project either in your own organization or another. The project can be to solve a problem, develop a new approach or create something entirely new. Sample projects include developing a market entry or expansion strategy for a new product or for an existing product in a new market or designing a new inventory system for a hospital.
