Extracted Content: Building upon the quality education provided by the business department, Augustana University is adding a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree to its graduate education portfolio. The new program follows an intensive study regarding regional and national employment data, as well as feedback received from the Sioux Falls business community and alumni.
Augustana will launch two versions of the MBA program – a 4+1 option for current undergraduate students and a two-year option for working professionals who have already earned a bachelor’s degree. Unique to the MBA degree is a Leadership Academy where students will be aligned with mentors who are leaders in their respected fields. The intent is to provide an invaluable link between academic theories and on-the-job realities in order to build upon community-integrated learning to address public and business needs.The university will be accepting online applications for the MBA program beginning in December and will be open until Feb. 15, 2020.
