Program Design & Curriculum
All MVNU graduate business programs share a “core” of seven (7) courses that are supplemented by the courses included in the student’s chosen concentration. Students must successfully complete MANG6113 (Ethical Leadership) before continuing into the remainder of the core graduate business courses. MANG6043 (Strategic Management) must be the final course completed in the program core.
Students complete their graduate business degree fully online. Courses are six weeks long and are taken one at a time, giving the student the flexibility needed to complete this degree in the midst of other commitments.
