General
Information
Winthrop
University offers the Master of Business Administration degree
in three formats: a general MBA, an
MBA with Accounting Emphasis, and an MBA with a
concentration in
Finance,
International Business, or
Software Project Management.
The Master
of Business Administration degree program is accredited by
AACSB-International, (the
Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), the
premier accrediting agency for business school programs. Less
than one-third of U.S. business school programs and less than 5%
of programs worldwide hold this accreditation.
AACSB-International accreditation assures quality and promotes
excellence and continuous improvement.
Students
from a diverse range of educational, professional, and cultural
backgrounds participate in and enhance the educational
experience. Nationally accredited, the program is taught by
faculty committed to excellence in teaching and research.
MBA Program Overview
The general MBA
is a two-phase program of 39 semester hours of required graduate
courses. The curriculum includes the MBA core of 30 hours and 9
hours of elective courses. Up to 24 hours of prerequisites may
be required, depending upon the individual student’s
preparation.
Phase I courses
involve the development of necessary business tools in the areas
of accounting, organizational behavior, communications, statistics,
and management information systems. An extensive study in the functional areas of
business, including strategic and international issues in
management, marketing and operations
management, finance, and industrial economics and public policy, is
developed in the courses of Phase II.
