Manchester University announced this week it will offer an accelerated, year-long Master of Business Administration program.
The degree program will include three specialized tracks for management, accounting and pharmacy. The management and pharmacy tracks are completed entirely online.
The program is available to any degree and can be completed in 30 credit hours without any prerequisite courses. The university said undergraduate students can now earn both their bachelor’s and master’s degrees in four or five years.
“An MBA from Manchester will set students apart from those graduating from other programs,” Heather Twomey, professor and dean of the Gilbert College of Business, said in a news release. “At MU, students will master the skills needed to be strategic decision makers, learning to use data to drive strategic choices; demonstrate the ability to effectively lead a diverse workforce, expanding their understanding of others’ responses to various leadership styles; and refine their professional values, modeling what it means to live with integrity.”
Manchester University is located in the Wabash County town of North Manchester, located about 100 miles northwest of Indianapolis and about 35 miles west of Fort Wayne.
