Residential MBA
The Residential Master of Business Administration Program at Anderson University is experiential and uses an intensive approach where program fellows learn from instructors who are committed to excellence in teaching and mentoring and actively involved in consulting and research. This program is designed for individuals who want graduate-level studies in a Christian environment immediately after completing their undergraduate degree.
- Earn your Master of Business Administration degree in 10 short months. Requires a full-time commitment.
- Work three days per week in a co-op setting. This is a 20+ hour per week job in a field related to your interests where you learn critical resume-building skills.
- Academically rigorous coursework in the classroom two days per week. You will not only take your MBA classes but learn hands-on from industry leaders as guest speakers, you will take field trips to see how different companies run, and learn project management skills as a participant in our consulting groups for local companies.
- Included in the price of the program is a global business experience.
- Network and build community with other recent college graduates from various backgrounds.
- Students in this program are mentored by faculty who are committed to being models of “salt and light” in professional and personal affairs.
New courses focus on connecting classroom work to the workplace.
Professional Cooperative Experience I is available to students who have not yet held a full-time professional work position. It offers students a structured learning experience that will include a cooperative placement with an organization relevant to the student’s professional goals. Students will also read and discuss literature between the classroom and applied experience.
Professional Cooperative Experience II continues the cooperative learning placement from the first course. Students complete a series of activities regarding their future growth in their selected career. It is designed to provide opportunities beyond the cooperative placement and enable the student to develop a long-term career plan based around industry trends and projections.
Your AU Story Begins Now
AU gave me the opportunity to get my MBA right after I graduated from my undergrad. It set me up for success and allowed me to land my dream job. My MBA was especially impacted by the close-knit bond that I had with the other individuals in the classroom, and the professors were mentors for me, not only inside the classroom but outside the classroom.
