Master in Business Administration

You've been working for several years in the corporate world, but just can't seem to get ahead. The people you work with are getting promoted and moving on, but you haven't quite reached your goals yet. An M.B.A. from Northwest Missouri State University can give you the edge you need to push ahead to advance your career.

Northwest makes it convenient to pursue your dream while working full-time. Blended classes which combine online and face-to-face instruction allow you to spend more time pursuing personal interests while completing your coursework. Classes meet for just six weeks, on alternating Saturdays and Thursday evenings. Best of all -- you can complete your entire program in approximately 18 months. Northwest's MBA program starts a new cohort group each fall trimester at the North Kansas City Center. The application deadline for each fall is July 1.

Northwest's MBA graduates are highly sought after by employers as diverse as Farmland Industries, DST Systems, Inc., Hallmark Cards, Pella Window Corporation, and the U.S. Federal Government. Some positions our recent graduates have attained include service representative to a U.S. Senator, analyst for the Federal Reserve Bank, or director for the Small Business Development Center.

Northwest's MBA program is accredited by the Association for Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
