Graduate Certificate Programs
The Master of Science in Management Information Systems is designed
to integrate knowledge of information technology (IT) and the
functional areas of business, with emphasis on strategic IT applications
and the development of project management, team, and communication
competencies.
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, cases 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.
