Master of Business Administration

Established in 1978, the Master of Business Administration Program reflects Husson’s long-standing commitment to education for leadership in business. The University believes such education is fostered by experiential learning. Active classrooms, courses tied closely to actual management experience, and a diverse student body representing various academic and industry backgrounds contribute to a more robust education.

Classes are scheduled in the evening and online to accommodate participants’ work schedules. A part-time student can complete the program in two years without career interruption. The program is offered at the Husson campus in Bangor, Online, and at select other off-campus locations.

Husson University has affiliation agreements with Unity College, University of Maine Presque Isle and University of Maine Fort Kent which allow their undergraduate students to take courses in the Master of Business Administration and the Master of Science in Criminal Justice Administration Programs. This enables these students to graduate with a Baccalaureate degree from their respective institution and a Master’s Degree from Husson University.

Upon completion of the Master's of Business Administration program curriculum, students will be able to:

• apply best practices to solve complex managerial issues.
• integrate theories and practice to perform strategic analysis
• demonstrate effective written forms of communication and oral business presentations
• implement leadership skills to work effectively within diverse teams
• identify and analyze ethical responsibilities of businesses
• apply decision-making techniques, using both quantitative and qualitative analysis, to management issues

The core curriculum in the Husson University Master of Business Administration Program consists of eight required courses. Four additional courses, selected from a range of electives, make up the thirty-six credits required for completion of the program.
