Webster's Master of Business Administration (MBA) program gives students the business skills they need to develop and implement value creating ideas and solutions. It's designed for professionals who want to shape their own career, upgrade credentials, and be strategic players in the world of business.
Regardless of what you want out of your MBA, you can count on getting a flexible schedule that fits your lifestyle, small classes, personal attention, and a real-world approach. Choose between two convenient formats: A hybrid "flipped classroom" which combines online content with two hours per week of in-class learning or fully online coursework.
In the "flipped classroom" option, course content is provided online prior to class meetings. This allows class time to be reduced to two hours per week, and students have more time to focus on collaborative assignments and hands-on activities. This model reinforces the skills needed for success in today's economy, while also providing increased flexibility for students' busy lives.
