Master of Business Administration

The MBA program offers a broad understanding of the corporate environment with immersion in each aspect of business. The 30-hour program is comprised of four 8-week and two 4-week fast-paced and intensive modules (the program can be taken at a slower speed to fit your lifestyle). Each module is designed to expose you to the latest business concepts and technologies. This unique approach provides a quality education that rivals any.

Program Mission

The mission of the MBA program at Mississippi State University is:

  1. to expand students’ knowledge of the business world;
  2. to improve student’s business skills;
  3. to help students integrate business knowledge;
  4. to improve students’ ability to apply integrative knowledge and personal skills to real business problems.

The program includes a solid core of 24 hours in the areas of Accounting, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Statistics, Management and Information Systems; a three hour elective; and a capstone Business Consulting Project course in which students apply what they have learned to a current business problem. Instructors in each of these courses have integrated teaching methods and course content to help students achieve the four broad objectives shown above.

Students may enter any semester (fall, spring, or summer). Students who have completed all undergraduate pre-requisites can finish the program in twelve months. Graduate-level survey courses are offered to streamline the requirements for those who do not hold undergraduate degrees in business.
