About the Master of Business Administration

The Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program prepares students to become leaders in both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations in the increasingly global marketplace. The program provides students with grounding in the principles of management and a knowledge of the various functional areas found in most businesses. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches to decision-making provide opportunities for students to develop the critical thinking skills necessary to become effective, socially responsible business and community leaders. Finally, the student’s ability to articulate his or her own plans, ideas, and vision is enhanced through applications throughout the curriculum.

The M.B.A. degree may be pursued on its own, or as a dual degree with either the Juris Doctor or Master of Pastoral Studies as the second degree. These dual degrees are granted through Loyola's College of Law or Institute for Ministry, respectively. Students interested in earning a dual degree can take advantage of this unique opportunity to obtain two degrees simultaneously in less time than would be required to earn them separately.
