Objectives
The VU Master of Business Administration (MBA) program is a high-standard program that is relevant and responsive to emerging business trends. The program is designed for future managers and business leaders looking to take their career to the next level. The program will expose the participant to a solid foundation course that includes business fundamentals, tools, and models useful for making decisions.
Program structure
Each MBA Program course is comprised of mostly three-credit courses (48 credits in total) and is divided into two groups. With rare exceptions, MBA participants are required to follow the course sequence as shown below.
- The "Core Courses" provide MBA participants with a solid academic foundation.
- The "Concentration Courses" allow MBA participants the opportunity to develop further a specific area of interest.
The duration of the MBA course is one year and participants must successfully complete all courses. The courses are assessed by means of both coursework and examination.
It is compulsory to create a thesis to finish the MBA program. The thesis should have a strategic analysis, a report that looks at a certain issue and gives well-founded solutions. The participant needs to conduct both qualitative and quantitative research. The thesis must give data and ascertain validity. The paper length is 25,000 words.
Participants may be exempted from the Core Courses based upon undergraduate major and courses taken at other learning institutions. The Core Courses provide essential tools for the Concentration Courses.
