Pitching an Online MBA

For many adult learners, flexibility has proven to be a top concern. At the University of Nebraska at Kearney, the Master of Business Administration—commonly known as the MBA—has changed its format to comply with the changing times. Classes are offered primarily online while still providing some one-on-one interaction through synchronous class meetings. This new format provides the best of both worlds: flexibility, with engaging in-class discussions that are accessible remotely through online synchronous meeting technology. Students are still given the opportunity of completing the degree entirely at a distance while gaining intellectual discussions with their peers and faculty.

The 33-credit-hour program allows students personal attention, experiential learning and an engaging real-world educational experience unlike others. The program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International, a designation awarded to less than 5% of business schools worldwide. This accreditation ensures high program quality and provides students with a competitive edge in the job market.

The MBA online program equips students with skills in problem solving, leadership and organizational behavior while complementing those skills with financial administration and organizational functions that are key to many business settings. Students can choose from tracks in: accounting, marketing and a generalist option. These tracks give students a more defined pathway into an area of expertise. Graduates of the MBA program often find themselves well prepared for taking the CPA exam or rising up in careers within business, nonprofits or public service sectors.
