The MBA program consists of just 12 courses (each class is 3 credits for a total of 36 credits). The masters degree in business  is intended to provide broad exposure to the knowledge, skills, and values needed by successful managers. Candidates for the masters degree typically include those pursuing a management career, as well as those at mid-career and those contemplating a change from a technical or specialized field into a general management role. The concepts and skills acquired by Barney students apply to all types of organizations, including large corporations, family-owned businesses, and not-for-profit organizations. You can take advantage of the Barney School's blended model of learning which provides a flexible schedule and timesaving options. It also makes it easier than ever for you to earn an MBA at your own pace and place. The online MBA program options can be used when full schedules prevent class attendance.
