What can an MBA from Union Institute & University do for you?  

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is one of the most prestigious degrees in the business world, suggests Mary Margaret Kraut, Interim Director of the Union Institute & University Master of Business Administration Program.

“An MBA graduate moves to the front of the hiring or promotion line in relation to other applicants. MBA students are skilled in critical thinking, problem-solving, management, and leadership. Those four abilities are what private, public sector, and not-for-profit organizations seek most in an employee,” Kraut said. “In addition, MBA graduates are trained to prioritize and quickly assess challenges in business organizations in both the private and public sectors. What organization would not want employees with these qualifications on its team?”

Organizations in many private and public industries value an MBA. Private business organizations, public business entities, government organizations, such as law enforcement, fire service, medical first responder organizations, healthcare organizations, new business start-ups, education organizations, and many non-profit organizations, need capable management and leadership employees with critical thinking, problem-solving, management, and leadership skills.

“The advantage of the Union Institute & University MBA degree is the personal knowledge and skills acquired to adapt to any challenging business situation in a domestic or global environment,” Kraut says. “MBA graduates can impact any private, public, or not-for-profit business organization by implementing quick and decisive action to address everyday challenges or unexpected crisis challenges. Business and leadership knowledge with strong management and leadership skills would be essential for new business organizations in the start-up  phase.”

What sets Union Institute & University’s MBA apart?

“The Union Institute & University MBA curriculum is grounded in real-world application and taught by faculty who are scholar-practitioners,” Kraut said. “They understand working adult students and their many work and family responsibilities. Very few universities can make that claim. Below are my top ten reasons to earn your MBA at Union Institute & University.”

MBA Design Your Own Specialization  – This MBA specialization allows students to take courses in their specific area of interest.  Once students complete the MBA core courses and required MBA elective courses, they may take any three master-level courses in any master’s discipline.
