The MBA program is a night program, which allows students to complete their degrees in one to two years, while continuing to work full-time during the day. Graduate students can pursue a general MBA or elect to have a formal concentration in Finance, Accounting or Management Information Systems (MIS). MC is the only MBA granting institution in the Jackson metro area to offer these formal concentrations for the MBA.
Regardless of the type of MBA degree, the curriculum features an integrated core that emphasizes cross-functional learning, the development of strong skills for written and oral communication, an understanding of global perspectives, applied problem solving, and an awareness of ethical issues.
