Our graduates know that their confidence as business professionals comes not from their title but largely from the knowledge they gained in the MBA Assumption program.
The primary goals are to enable students to:
- Gain state of the art knowledge in strategic decision-making and problem-solving in all functional areas of business, both domestic and international
- Become technologically adept
- Develop the skills to communicate and lead effectively
- Be able to think and act ethically, not only to advance the interests of the organization, but of society at large
Our graduates are equally qualified to become professionals and managers in the private and/or public sectors, and in both for-profit and non-profit organizations. We welcome talented and motivated candidates with undergraduate degrees in business or in any other discipline.
There’s more to business than simply the bottom line.
Our unique and tested “Ethics Fusion” approach provides students not only with the technical and decision-making skills that are the hallmark of a successful business or organizational strategist, but also in-depth exposure to a set of core values. Graduates of MBA Assumption learn ethical decision making models and how to apply them to issues and situations that may be encountered across all business disciplines.
Our graduates develop the capability of recognizing ethical problems in business, and an understanding of how the right decisions are to be made – qualities that are in great demand in the contemporary workplace. And, the MBA Assumption curriculum treats non-profit, social service, government, health care and similar organizations with the same intensity as “for-profit” businesses.
A merge of liberal arts tradition with high-level business education.
Small and highly interactive, classes typically with 17 or fewer students offer a rich learning experience. Consistent with the liberal arts approach to learning, emphasis is placed on critical thinking, including mastery of why things are done, not simply how. Faculty take pride in being able to provide personal attention to students’ coursework and career planning. Technology allows us to offer “blended” online/classroom courses which preserves the essence of the face-to-face classroom environment we value, while at the same time providing convenience to students with demanding outside schedules.
