Curriculum Overview
The DeSales University MBA Program meets the needs of both working adults and their employers by providing a sound, comprehensive curriculum taught by faculty with extensive teaching and business experience.
While at DeSales, students receive personal, one-on-one attention from the very beginning so their program goals are met within their time frame.
Building upon each student's foundation of undergraduate business courses, our program combines core, concentration, and elective courses with a final, integrative capstone course.
You will be able to move at your own pace, which will be determined by undergraduate work completed, your area of concentration, and your targeted completion date.
