“We are very proud of our AACSB-accredited MBA program to again be ranked among the best in the nation and state,” said AUM College of Business Dean Ross Dickens. “We continue to work hard to deliver our program in an efficient manner (both cost and time) to allow a student to complete courses in a calendar year (or more) and 100 percent online or with both online and on-campus courses.”
Students in AUM’s MBA program choose learning options in a blend of online, hybrid and campus-based courses. Through the 10-course program, students build knowledge and skills in accounting, marketing, finance, data analysis, information management, strategic analysis, business communication, and personnel management.
