A Message from the Director

Choosing a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program can be a daunting task, one complicated by the myriad options and offerings available. Prospective students must consider the size, prestige and the location of the school, the cost of the program, the prerequisites for admission and the scheduling and flexibility of the course offerings. While there is no one program that is best for everyone, I would suggest you look long and hard at the alternatives, paying specific attention to the following:

·        Accreditation – Most MBA Programs are accredited but not all accrediting agencies require the same standards of excellence in their accrediting process.

·        Faculty – This is a business degree.  The best faculty would be those that offer a combination of academic background and practical, “real-world” business background.

·        Class size – The larger the class, the less direct contact and interaction students have with the faculty and each other.

·        Location – Given the amount of time that must be spent in obtaining an MBA degree, the process should not be complicated by spending long hours getting to and from the campus where the classes are held.

Stetson University offers an Executive Masters in Business Administration (EMBA) program at its center in Celebration, Florida. Accreditation by the AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business of our undergraduate and graduate business and accounting programs places us among a select group of institutions nationally. The university is one of fewer than 200 schools worldwide to have achieved such status. This program, while conferring a traditional MBA degree from one of Florida’s highest ranked schools, is specifically designed for individuals with proven managerial experience who are destined for executive-level positions in industry, government, professional occupations and academia. Our program accepts practical and successful accomplishments in lieu of what are termed "foundation" courses required by other MBA programs. We stress interactive learning and embrace the concept that the experience of the collective group or cohort is one of the most important aspects of the process. 

I invite you to learn about our EMBA Program, its curriculum, its faculty, our students and our admission requirements. We want students who fully appreciate what our program offers.  We offer information sessions and one-on-one counseling in an effort to provide interested candidates with all information necessary to help them make an informed decision.  Please review the material provided within our website, and, if it interests you, let’s talk.
