The mission of the Benedictine M.B.A. Programs is to provide business professionals with a collaborative educational experience that imparts superior, practical knowledge and management skills; enables learners to analyze complex, real-world business problems and implement best practices, and instills a sense of personal commitment to improve the responsible, strategic leadership of organizations.

The traditional M.B.A. Program is an individually-paced, evening and weekend M.B.A. program that is designed to provide maximum flexibility in curriculum and scheduling for busy people with an interest in management roles. The beautiful, accessible, and growing 116-year old Benedictine campus in Lisle, Illinois provides the setting for all traditional M.B.A. classes.

The WebFlex M.B.A. Program is specifically designed to accommodate frequent demands and travel during the workweek. The convenience of online learning combined with traditional style teaching, the WebFlex M.B.A. provides students with the flexibility to fit classes in according to their schedules without occupying every weekend.

The Internship M.B.A, the Executive M.B.A. and the Accelerated Cohort M.B.A. offer additional flexibility and format options.

Benedictine M.B.A. Program instructors are seasoned full-time and adjunct faculty members who are carefully selected for their experience in, and commitment to, the education of motivated adult learners. All instructors have earned their master or doctorate degrees or both and possess expertise in their specific disciplines within the scope of the M.B.A. Program curriculum.

The M.B.A. curriculum addresses the needs of business professionals by providing a comprehensive exposure to all the elements essential for running their organizations well. The curriculum consists of 16 courses of which 12 are required and four are elective.

The undergraduate business department has demonstrated the ability to fulfill our Benedictine University mission statement at the departmental level. Our students graduate with a foundation grounded in a liberal arts education which allows them to think deeply, clearly and thoroughly through any of the problems that they may encounter; moreover, the department provides students with the skills and competencies essential to gain employment in business related careers. The business faculty hope to enable business graduates to aspire toward leadership positions while at the same time maintain a sense of ethical decision making coupled to a sense of justice.

The program and courses in the International Business and Economics Department are designed to offer the principles pertinent to all of the functional areas of business, accounting, finance, management and marketing, in an integrated manner and with an emphasis on the international aspects that affect these areas. There is also advanced coverage of microeconomics, plus extensive coverage of money and financial markets, and international economics. The program enables you to pursue graduate studies in business, economics, or law, or career opportunities in business or the pubic sector. Students will receive a thorough grounding in the study and appreciation of international cultural backgrounds and in the skills needed for international business.

The department offers B.B.A. degrees in Accounting, Finance, Health Administration, Management and Organizational Behavior, and Marketing. There is a B.A. degree available in Business and Economics and a B.A.M. degree available in Management.

The Business Club and Undergraduate Business Department are again sponsoring the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program. Through the VITA program, business students can volunteer to participate in weekend tax assistance sessions.

The Master of Science in Management and Organizational Behavior (MOB) Program at Benedictine University is recognized both locally and nationally as a leader in providing education toward managing the human side of organizations.

Competence in the "human side of enterprise," including global interdependence, workforce diversity, and the management of change, has become the hallmark of excellent managers and leading-edge companies.

The management and organizational behavior program blends a practitioner orientation with a combined academic, theoretical and research focus to provide a relevant and balanced approach to managerial skill development.

The curriculum provides students with a solid foundation in the traditional areas of management skills such as strategic planning, managerial accounting and information management. Most of all, we foster collaborative faculty/student relationships aimed at achieving a common goal: learning to create and sustain excellence in management.

The program is designed around the fact that many students are working professionals and therefore classes are scheduled in the evening and on weekends to accommodate their needs. Eighty-five percent of the degree can be completed through weekend course work. Most students complete their degree in two to four years of part-time enrollment.

The Ph.D. program in Organization Development is committed to preparing management professionals with state-of-the-art education in the field. The program is dedicated to promote a better understanding of the work of the OD professional within the context of global trends and emerging problems.

Coursework is designed for organization development professionals who perceive the management of change and the creation of high-performance organizations as a central part of their career. It is designed as a full-time program (approximately eight credit hours per quarter) to be integrated with and complementary to full-time work activities.

Built on a 30-year history of successful graduate-level OD education, this program is intended for persons with extensive experience and currently holding responsible positions either in organization development, management, or in a closely allied field such as human resource management.
