MBA

At the Labovitz School of Business and Economics, an MBA means up to three years of course work in addition to your career. It means in-depth analyses of business theories and an ability to apply those theories to business practice. It also means that when you have our MBA after your name, you have the advantage.

We will challenge you, yet encourage you; support you, yet stretch your intellect and ability.

After graduation, it won’t be a question of if or even when you will succeed. It will be a simple matter of how often.

At LSBE, our students already know the fast-paced complexities of the working world—they work there; they understand. What we offer them expands their skills and provides a more analytical, more theoretical, and more global picture of business. Our students (average age: 35; average years in career: 9) experience a critical thinking approach, and it is in this arena that our accomplished faculty excels.

We build on the foundation of business knowledge you already have—in finance and operations, in marketing and management, in human resources, and in a variety of other areas. Our students come from the professional world, and so we expect from them a certain level of experience—they must have a solid basis of business know-how and be otherwise academically prepared. It is from this foundation that we can create more valuable employees and more confident, capable leaders.

The LSBE MBA is a competitive, challenging, and rewarding program, offering you:

Doctoral Faculty
Our experienced faculty are active researchers in a variety of academic disciplines. These individuals are the anchor of our program and, as much as they will lead you, they will inspire you to lead.

Flexibility for Working Professionals
Our MBA is a part-time program offered in Duluth and Rochester, Minnesota, effectively serving the entire state. Courses are available in the evenings and on weekends, allowing you to complete your MBA with a minimum of disruption to your career. The program can also be accomplished on a full-time basis, provided that at least two courses are completed each semester.

Comprehensive Curriculum
We provide challenging core and elective courses in all key areas of business—each of which builds and expands upon a solid foundation of business knowledge.

International Recognition
The Labovitz MBA is granted by the University of Minnesota Graduate School, a highly respected university—so your degree will be recognized the world over.

Academic Rigor
Our students have excelled both academically and professionally; they have succeeded in a variety of positions and diverse industries. Our interactive classes ensure that you will learn from them, not just from your professors.

AACSB International Accreditation
Our Masters in Business Administration is one of only three in the State and two within the University of Minnesota system to have achieved and maintained the hard-earned accreditation of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International.

This accreditation means a rigorous review process and ongoing evaluations of faculty qualifications, curriculum, continuous improvement processes, assessment practices, and student and faculty resources. Only the top third of business schools in the nation are able to achieve this accreditation, which guarantees your MBA meets the highest criteria established by the management education community.
