Gain Applicable Knowledge and Succeed in Business
Gannon University is a student-oriented teaching
university. This philosophy guides our approach to curriculum
design, teaching, and advising. We recognize and understand
the dramatic changes ongoing in the world of business. The
mission of the Gannon Online MBA Program is to provide students
with the vision, values, and skills required to lead successful
professional and rewarding personal lives within this exciting new
world. Our approach is to pay careful attention to each
student, challenge them to grow, and help them to reach their own
personal and career objectives. Courses in the Online Master
of Business Administration (MBA) program are rigorous and
challenging by design, but the faculty is prepared to work with
each student to build the skills needed for the business world of
the 21st century.
Gannon University's MBA program was founded in 1970 and our
experience as the region's first and largest graduate school of
business has taught us some important lessons. Simply having a
master's degree, regardless of the type of degree or apparent
status of the degree-granting institution, is no assurance of
success. To succeed in business, individuals need real skills, an
understanding of the world of business and an appreciation for
life. Our network of over 1,400 MBA alumni is a proud testament to
Gannon's ability to make success happen for its graduate students.
Gannon MBA Alumni include Presidents/CEO's, Vice Presidents, CFO's,
Treasurers, and Managing Partners. In addition, over 60 have
earned advanced degrees, including doctorates from some of the most
prestigious academic institutions in North America (Indiana
University, University of Michigan and University of Pennsylvania's
Wharton School, Stanford University to name a few). More than
45 Gannon MBA's are currently teaching in colleges and
universities.
