By combining business and analytical skills with an ethical focus, the online MBA helps students to solve business problems that benefit their organizations as well as society.

For each course, students participate in weekly one-hour guided live classroom sessions, consisting of lectures, case discussions, and/or group activities. These live sessions are offered during evenings/weekends. They also are recorded and made available to students within the digital platform. These sessions give participants real-time contact with faculty and other students. This mix of digital and live sessions maximizes learning and flexibility. In addition to live classroom discussions, faculty are available to students during online office hours offered through the digital classroom platform. Office hours afford students the opportunity to interact informally with faculty and ask questions about course material and assignment feedback.
