What is an MBA?

A Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a widely recognized degree highly sought after by those looking to gain an edge in the business world.

The MBA is open to individuals from a wide range of academic disciplines who have previously completed a bachelor's degree.

An MBA education provides students a broad knowledge base in all the major functions and practices of a business (accounting, marketing, finance, operations management, organizational behavior, economics, and information systems) and further develops managerial skill sets and core competencies necessary for business success. Against this backdrop, the critical topics of leadership, teamwork, ethics, and effective communication are embedded in the program to further broaden skills necessary to become more effective managers. The SOU MBA program is accredited through the Northwest Commission Colleges and Universities and currently a candidate for ACBSP accreditation.

The Benefits of an MBA

The SOU MBA program features a highly interactive and practical approach to learning. The ability to work closely with faculty, fellow program participants, and executives provides tremendous networking opportunities.

An MBA degree can open the door to increased opportunities over the course of a career. Earning the SOU MBA degree will enhance:

• Job marketability
• Leadership abilities
• Skills that lead to business success
• Business networking opportunities
• Personal and professional growth

The SOU Difference

SOU offers a high quality education in a small classroom environment.  All our classes are taught directly by our expert faculty who bring extensive knowledge, dedication and industry experience to the program. 

We offer our students the added benefits of a cohort system, which means you begin the MBA program with a group of students and continue throughout the program with those same students. Working in a cohort-based program has proven incredibly rewarding and has many advantages for developing future business leaders.  The skill set of working productively on projects with colleagues will prove invaluable as you enter into new and changing job markets.

Out of 130 schools tested each year, SOU consistently scores in the top 25% on the Major Field Test. This is the only test of its kind to measure MBA student aptitude in universities all around the country.
