Master of Business Administration (MBA)

Program Overview

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) will enhance a student’s ability to incorporate evidence-based decision-making and systematic approaches to solve complex problems. Students will utilize a variety of business-based frameworks to decisions in today’s fast-paced, business environment. The use of proven business practitioners and leaders to teach Walsh MBA classes helps to bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world practices.

The MBA prepares graduates for positions in mid- to upper-level management by providing a broad, general education in major areas of business study. With an emphasis on professional communication, the MBA program encompasses the study of accounting, finance, management, information technology, economics, strategy, and related disciplines.

The MBA program consists of 10-11 classes for 30-33 credits. The MBA degree requires a minimum of 18 semester credit hours in residence at Walsh.
