Gatton’s One Year option is an intensive, cross-disciplinary, hands-on experience that will prepare you to be a leader in business and the community. Our curriculum incorporates a number of the core business processes, including marketing, management, and finance; as well as the more technical business courses such as accounting, quantitative analysis, operations management (supply chain), global management, and data analysis. Additionally, you will cover those critical areas that the corporate world values; including leadership, communication and presentation skills, ethics, and strategic thinking. All of this takes place in highly interactive, action-based courses and learning laboratories situated in the corporate setting through Project Connect a built-in internship in which MBA student teams consult with regional companies.
The Professional Evening M.B.A. program is designed for working professionals seeking to improve their business acumen and expand their soft skills. Modeled by the more traditional learning environment, evening students will study with first-rate professors who are leaders in their fields. In as little as two years, a student in the Professional Evening M.B.A. program will graduate with an advanced degree designed to broaden and enhance their skill set in order to be more competitive in the business world.
