Sacred Heart University

In the 36-credit MBA program at Sacred Heart University, we take a unique approach that combines managerial skills with technical skills, so you graduate with a deep understanding of how various functions in a business work together, and the knowledge you need to successfully manage people and teams.

Why earn your MBA at Sacred Heart?

The most successful companies and the most successful leaders are the ones that know how to manage the most valuable asset that a company has: its people, their skills, and their creativity. This requires managers and leaders to not only have knowledge of functional skills but more importantly, how to manage interdisciplinary teams and how to create a corporate culture of innovation.

The MBA is still the most widely recognized graduate degree for managerial positions and above. While many specialized Masters degrees can help you with your first job, an MBA is key for a career as a leader.

A part of the Jack Welch College of Business and Technology, the MBA at Sacred Heart is one of fewer than five percent of elite business schools worldwide accredited by AACSB International. As a student, you will have access to world class facilities including the IDEA Lab, AI Lab and Finance Lab. You will learn from professors with years of corporate experience; 95% of our full-time faculty also have doctoral degrees.
