Program Mission
The Masters in Business Administration program will enable students to be a blessing to themselves and others in the world by preparing them to be highly skilled, ethical, and effective business practitioners and leaders. The program will instill a strong business acumen focused on critical thinking, analytical skills, and ethical decision making. Students will demonstrate an ability to integrate Catholic ethics and Benedictine values into their interaction with colleagues and the community at large, illuminated by Catholic social teaching as found in Vocation of the Business Leader.
Program Goals
- Graduates of the Belmont Abbey MBA program will demonstrate a mastery of skills and knowledge acquired in their area of specialization through a final capstone course project that requires the critical application and integration of the theories, methodologies, and competencies necessary to succeed at the highest levels in the global business environment.
- MBA graduates will grow intellectually and spiritually by embracing the Hallmarks of Benedictine Education in conversation with Catholic social teaching that are woven throughout the MBA program curriculum which they will demonstrate upon graduation through a commitment to lifelong learning and service to their community.
- Annual graduate and employer follow up indicate both graduates and employers are highly satisfied with the MBA program at Belmont Abbey College.
