MBA in Business Management

Launch Professionally: Earn your MBA in an industry-driven community of learners in only 11 months!

Overview and Information Session Registration

The MBA in Business Management is a rigorous full-time program designed to prepare a selective cohort of students for leadership in their careers. The curriculum relies heavily on experiential learning, industry interaction, and team collaboration. The intensive cohort structure is built around industry interaction-- preparing for professional success through direct engagement with industry partners in the Dallas and Austin, Texas metroplexes. The program exposes students to explicit knowledge about various aspects of business (across all sectors) and helps students translate this knowledge into tacit capabilities.

Designed for students who hold degrees from any major, the ideal candidate will be academically curious and professionally motivated. While most students are recent graduates, any candidate seeking a full-time MBA is welcome to apply.

I really appreciate the time I was able to spend in this MBA program. The fact that it was a full-time, year-long program was a huge selling point for me as I was eager to start my career after college. This program helped prepare me for life in the professional world.

Being able to interact with executives on the industry visits afforded to us by the cohort program was the highlight, and it allowed me to both network and see how both large and small companies solve problems.

From working on a semester-long project for PepsiCo to currently being an Account Executive in their internal marketing agency, it’s been a complete circle for me. The skills and hands-on experience this program equipped me with have been invaluable and I would 100% go back and do it again to reap the benefits.

- Sarah White, '21, MBA '22, Account Executive at PepsiCo

The MBA cohort has prepared me for my career and I am truly thankful for my time at UNT. I am currently a Technical Strategist at the global advertisement agency Saatchi & Saatchi, and I manage my own environmental art business called Bottlescape Art! The cohort taught me how to be a strategist, how to operate a business, and how to work as a team for clients.
