Program Description:

The John L. Grove College of Business is accredited by AACSB International, which certifies the quality of the curriculum, faculty, and support services. The program consists of 10 courses (30 credits), which includes 8 core courses and 2 elective courses. The core courses cover critical elements of business management in today's technologically advanced and global business environment. The course sequence is flexible, as the core courses do not have prerequisites beyond the basic requirements to enter the M.B.A. program.

Video conferencing technology provides students with the opportunity to attend class at either Shippensburg University or Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12 in New Oxford, 65 Billerbeck Street, New Oxford, PA 17350; or the Dixon University Center in Harrisburg. Two-thirds of each course is taught in an electronic classroom and broadcast to the remote sites via videoconferencing technology, thus providing students the opportunity to interact with the professor and other students face-to-face from multiple sites. Each class meeting is videotaped, so that if students cannot attend class due to work requirements, they may view the missed class online via video streaming.

The program consists of 30-46 credits, depending on the extent of undergraduate coursework in business. Typically, individuals with an undergraduate business degree from an AACSB International accredited school take 30 credits (10 courses), and individuals with a non-business undergraduate degree take 46 credits (14 courses). The curriculum covers critical elements of business management in today’s hypercompetitive and global business environment.
