Graduate study in business at UNI provides a broad-based, integrated program which emphasizes the functional areas of business in order to provide the graduate with a balance between theoretical knowledge and practical business operations. The M.B.A. curriculum is designed to meet the needs of students with undergraduate backgrounds in the liberal arts, sciences, engineering, as well as those with degrees in business. The M.B.A. program is accredited by AACSB International, the primary accrediting organization on management education.
The plan of study prescribed for the degree is structured to develop graduates who will have acquired: 1) an understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of the process of policy formulation and implementation; 2) a comprehension of environmental factors--economic, legal, social, and political--which affect the individual in the performance of managerial responsibilities; 3) an understanding of analytical techniques and the use of quantitative data in the administration of business controls; 4) the ability to communicate ideas effectively in oral and written form; and 5) a basic knowledge of selected functional areas of business administration.
