The Dr. Robert K. Jabs School of Business MBA (Jabs MBA) prepares students to reach their professional and personal goals. It provides an in-depth exploration of finance, marketing, economics, strategy and organizational leadership, integrating theory with a pragmatic application to produce graduates of both character and competence. MBA students bridge academic concepts with real-world experiences through international internship opportunities or a global business trip with faculty and peers. The Jabs MBA is designed to prepare ethical and effective leaders to create and shape organizations and to become responsible, accountable members of the local and global community.
Learn from professionally accomplished faculty
The academically qualified MBA faculty is comprised of successful entrepreneurs, managers, consultants, researchers, authors, business owners and leaders.
Foster lifelong relationships
CBU's MBA program reflects a dynamic community where small classes provide an interactive learning experience that allows students to strengthen networking, team-building and interpersonal skills while defining their unique business visions. Supportive relationships, with faculty and fellow students, begin the first day of class and last a lifetime.
Take practical courses
MBA classes closely model real-world working environments in which actual cases are discussed to illustrate the connections between coursework and the global workplace. By recreating the boardroom in the classroom, courses motivate students to think, react and function like managers and leaders.
A foundational course for all MBA students. It is designed to ensure all MBA students have the knowledge and skills required to be successful in the MBA program. Students will be required to demonstrate competency in finance, global business, economics, organizational behavior, operations management, human resources, ethics, and law.
