Cedarville鈥檚 online Christian MBA program recently received full accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs. The program is recognized for its continuous improvement, ensuring the MBA curriculum is current and adapts to a changing business landscape.
The university鈥檚 announcement last month of three new tracks within the MBA degree 鈥 master's in business analytics, master's in cybersecurity and MBA in innovation and entrepreneurship 鈥 is evidence of the program remaining relevant in the ever-changing business landscape. These new tracks, added this summer, are offered along with existing tracks: MBA in operations management and MBA in healthcare administration.
Undergirding a curriculum designed to adapt and flex to the needs of students is a solid foundation of instruction. 鈥淚n our MBA program, we have adopted four core values: excellence, missional purpose, stewardship and servant鈥檚 heart, which have been incorporated as themes within each course,鈥 noted John Delano, associate dean of graduate studies for the Cedarville University School of Business Administration.
鈥淎t a practical level, I will have students consider a specific scenario related to a course topic and have them address what a proper biblical response might be in light of one or more of the core values,鈥 Delano continued. 鈥淥ur MBA program approaches business from a distinctively biblical worldview. Each course is designed with biblical integration baked in, and not just sprinkled on top.鈥
