Standard International Pathway Program (IPP) - 2-Semester Pathway + Master of Business Administration (MBA)

Program Description

The masters degree in business is intended to provide broad exposure to the knowledge, skills, and values needed by successful managers. Candidates for the masters degree typically include those pursuing a management career, as well as those at mid-career and those contemplating a change from a technical or specialized field into a general management role. The concepts and skills acquired by Barney students apply to all types of organizations, including large corporations, family-owned businesses, and not-for-profit organizations.

The core of the MBA program is designed for students without prior business education and covers principles and concepts in the basic functional areas of business. The six courses in the breadth represent integrative, cross-functional topics that give the Barney MBA its uniqueness. Breadth courses cannot be waived. The capstone integrates functional approaches and environment issues by having students make strategic business decisions.

The University of Hartford’s Barney School of Business has been ranked third on the Hartford Business Journal's list of the largest MBA programs in Connecticut, and has been listed as one of the nation's "Best Business Schools" by the Princeton Review.

The master of business administration curriculum is always under review for continuous improvement.
