Bluffton gradaute students can complete a Master of Business Administration (MBA), MBA with a Health Care Management concentration or Master of Arts in Organizational Management (MAOM) in just two years, attending class just one night a week.
Courses are offered in three convenient locations – Bluffton, Edison Community College in Piqua and Northwest State Community College in Archbold.
Excel and Accounting Skills WorkshopA three-week workshop for professional development or in preparation for the MBA/MAOM program will be offered July 2012 in Bluffton, Piqua and Archbold. |
Bluffton's master of business administration program consists of a balance of leadership practice oriented courses and technically oriented courses. The concentration in health care management will focus on health care management practices through specialized elective courses. The MAOM covers much of the same material as the MBA but includes a stronger focus on issues specific to leadership and provides an opportunity for an in-depth study of a topic of particular personal or vocational interest.
Students complete the program in cohorts of approximately 20 students. Courses emphasize interactive, experiential learning rather than the traditional lecture. Our next groups will begin in August 2011, but interested students may get an early start by enrolling in up to three one-semester-hour short courses offered in the spring and summer of 2012.
Our graduates say...
Hear how this program worked
for Jane Heath, director of cancer care at Upper Valley Medical Center.
George and Karen,
I wanted to just take a moment to say thank you once again. This program has been a major milestone for not just my career, but for my life.
Getting my MBA was a goal that I had set in about 1998, right before I finished my bachelors. Nonetheless, life happened and my path towards that goal was detoured. Not only was it detoured, it was no longer an option. As a single mother, I didn’t think I’d ever get the opportunity to complete this goal that I so desperately wanted, and realized I needed to set my path straight again. It was not easy, and I thank both of you and the faculty that helped my goal come to fruition.
Throughout this program, I’ve gained my confidence back, and have started to become an advocate for single mothers that they too can finish a life-changing goal as I have. It’s very exciting to see their fire to learn and to see them regaining their hope in themselves. I’m very proud to show women like me that these are not unrealistic dreams, but valid expectations for themselves, because if I could do it, they too can set themselves back on the path that God set out for them.
Sincerely,
