ONE-YEAR MBA

Unravel Tough Business Problems

As a student in the accelerated One-Year Notre Dame MBA Program, you gain the leadership skills to solve some of the toughest problems in business, and do so with a consciousness of how your actions impact our larger communities. The Notre Dame MBA places an emphasis on providing an excellent business education that puts priority on ethics and values. The curriculum provides a balanced mastery of all functional areas of business—finance, accounting, marketing and management. Signature courses in Problem-Solving and Innovation give you the tools to diagnose problems, understand the critical issues and frame innovative solutions.

Further, you are exposed to the complexities of global business through a series of engagements with leaders worldwide. Immersions in Asia, Latin America and Europe provide opportunities to experience other cultures first-hand. Signature lecture series, such as Ten Years Hence, bring in internationally renowned experts to discuss some of the most vital trends and issues facing the current age. You also have the opportunity to broaden your problem-solving and entrepreneurial skills by participating in service projects in locations ranging from Jamaica, South Africa, Mexico, to here in the Midwest.
