Through the MBA programs, students are afforded the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of the field of entrepreneurship and/or ‘intrapreneurship’ in business and to develop the necessary skills for successful careers as entrepreneurs or in corporate business environments throughout. At MCNY, the MBA programs are oriented towards a practitioner-based model where management theories are fully integrated within the curriculum and students are expected to complete their respective programs with a tangible outcome, through the Constructive Action (CA). At the centerpiece of these programs is the College’s Purpose-Centered Education model, where students work methodically every semester to further increase their understanding of the world of business, while contributing to the development of their Constructive Actions, which focus on strategic analysis, planning and implementation to define innovative business models, products, customers, market segments and geographical markets for the future. These programs also recognize that business is a dynamic field and, as such, we are dedicated to regularly updating the curriculum consistent with changes in industry and the development of MCNY. Upon completion, it is expected that the MCNY MBA student will graduate an effective business professional who can lead in a changing global environment and will demonstrate mastery of skills in leadership, communication, strategic thinking, diversity management, financial analysis, change management, and accountability that are necessary to successfully assume managerial responsibilities. After attainting an MBA from MCNY, graduates of the program will lead the process of change for self, others and for a sustainable global community. Specifically, students will:
