Master of Business Administration [PID 69]

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program is for students with business liberal arts, scientific or other professional backgrounds. The curriculum stresses broad knowledge of professional management, including both abstract, theoretical concepts and their real world applications. Courses reflect the latest in management theory and practice, remaining flexible so that they can be adapted to a changing business world. Borrowing from mathematics and behavioral sciences, the program fuses quantitative analytical skills with the finer, more subtle aspects of management.

In general, UALR’s MBA program imparts the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that help management understand and assess management situations and problems, evaluate options in light of their consequences, select courses of action, and implement solutions. Students are encouraged to think broadly of their tasks and function. Teaching techniques include lectures, case studies, group projects, simulation games, video sessions, and field assignments. The program allows considerable interaction among students and faculty, fostering an atmosphere of support and cooperation.
