Program Description:

The MBA program was first introduced into university curriculum at the turn of the 20th Century and underwent a major restructure the late 40's and 50's. Today, enrollment in MBA programs has exponentially increased as it has become a necessary credential for those wishing to compete in a global society.

The intent of the "traditional" MBA program, often found in "B" or Business Schools, is to provide the business community with a degree-holder who has been exposed to a body of knowledge that in time may be applied to actual situations. The emphasis is on "in time", which in a global society is no longer a luxury for employers.

Unlike "traditional" MBAs, Lawrence Tech's "non-traditional" MBA is performance driven and links knowledge to organizational activities by melding theory with practice. The intent of Lawrence Tech's MBA, offered through its Management School, is to develop leadership and management skills by providing the student with a broad understanding of the roles and responsibilities of business management, thereby enhancing the graduate's effectiveness as managers and leaders. The learning is active, replacing the "read, look, listen, and take an exam" approach found in traditional MBAs. The program is further designed to develop the student's skills in areas such as problem solving, communication and team building and helps students develop a cross-disciplinary approach to managing the organization.
