"My Bryant MBA is invaluable. The professors bring a lifetime of experience into the classroom. I no longer look at the business side of medicine in the same way."

MBA PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Bryant MBA takes a distinctive approach to part-time business education and is differentiated from other programs in New England by delivering the benefits of a full-time program on a part-time basis. Similar to professional programs in medicine and law, students enter the Bryant MBA with a cohort of between 30 and 35 other professionals and complete the 2 year program together, as a class. In addition, from the first day of the program, each student is a member of a hand-picked study team.

The Bryant MBA integrates the most current business management theory with best business practices to enable you to lead people and effectively manage resources in a complex global marketplace. Most Bryant MBA students are accomplished professionals pursuing their degree part-time. Classroom discussions benefit from an array of practical experience.

The Curriculum

The MBA curriculum has been designed to develop an in-depth understanding of all business functions. Courses include strategy, leadership, management, accounting, finance, marketing, operations, and technology.

The curriculum balances the technical, data-driven, quantitative skills to make objective decisions with the interpersonal and communication skills necessary to work effectively with people at all levels and from all cultures. Most importantly, these topic areas are integrated throughout the curriculum to develop an understanding of all aspects of business.
