Full Time MBA
The School of Business offers curricula leading to (1) a Certificate in Leadership, Ethics, and Values for Business and Management and (2) the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree with majors in:- Accounting
- Finance
- General Management
- Human Resource Management
- Marketing
A student earning a major in general management may complete a concentration in business ethics and law and policy. A student may earn an individually-designed customized M.B.A. with SB approval.
The M.B.A. program is designed to educate leaders who will simultaneously create value
and make a difference. La Sierra trains students motivated by a commitment to integrity, compassion, and social justice who will use their skills in nongovernmental organizations, corporations,government agencies, church institutions, or community organizations as social entrepreneurs: people who expand economic opportunity and grow wealth in underdeveloped communities by promoting the creation of innovative enterprises that in turn make tangible, positive social change happen.
While the School equips students with business skills they can use in any morally
appropriate business environment, it concentrates its educational efforts on training them to be social entrepreneurs. The M.B.A. program builds on La Sierra’s distinctive strengths: a multicultural student body, opportunities for interdepartmental and inter institutional cooperation, special resources in the areas of social entrepreneurship and ethics, and links with an international church community serious about cross cultural understanding and global service. The 48-unit program features:- a focused introduction to key business skill areas;
- opportunities for involvement in research projects that build competence and provide exposure to current trends and issues;
- educational strategies including integrated courses, customized learning materials,field-based learning, and various co-curricular programs;
- service-learning activities that simultaneously express the School’s commitments to excellence in its areas of distinctive competence and provide students with the chance to develop appropriate habits and skills;
- a distinctive emphasis on ethics, workplace spirituality, and social entrepreneurship within the framework of Christian commitment;
- a distinctive, challenging business simulation package, linked with program coursework, that provides students with stimulating opportunities to integrate skills and perspectives from the various business disciplines; and
- a flexible structure that permits each student to select her or his own emphases even to design a customized curriculum while completing the program at her or his own pace.
Professional MBA
Our MBA program offers a great opportunity to get to know a diverse array of students and become part of the transforming culture of a graduate program. But many busy students with full-time jobs or family responsibilities need other options. That's why our Professional MBA program gives you the chance to earn an MBA without leaving your workplace.
The PMBA program works just like our on-campus program. PMBA students complete the same required classes as on-campus students - classes taught by doctorally qualified faculty members, many of them the same teachers who deliver our on-campus classes. Students in our PMBA program have access to the same resources s our on-campus students.
Flexibility is a hallmark of La Sierra's business programs - both on and off campus. While core MBA requirements are identical in both programs, a group of students earning an MBA at a particular workplace can opt for a set of customized electives designed to meet their distinctive needs and interests.
The PMBA program offers exceptional personal and professional growth opportunities to working people throughout southern California. It also makes it easier for area employers to invest strategically in their employees and their own futures.
