The MBA program at Stratford University focuses on creating the world's future business leaders. The curriculum incorporates the industry reliance on information technology and the need to undergo frequent transformation. The program focuses on helping students develop and nurture their analytical, technical, and interpersonal skills.
The first year program is focused on foundation courses that will offer the student the ability to discover the area of concentration they want to explore for their second year. These courses also give the student a diverse and broad understanding of all facets of business administration. The second year of study allows the student to choose an area of concentration from finance, information technology, management and leadership, and business and public policy. This allows the ability to hone one's skills in a particular area and be able to research and excel in that specific field of interest.
The MBA program includes core requirements and elective requirements. The total requirement is 90 quarter credits and normally takes 2 years (10 quarters) to complete. Students should note that not all courses are offered each term.
