Master of Business Administration (MBA)

The Master of Business Administration degree program was authorized by the Ohio Board of Regents in 1996. Heidelberg University’s MBA program develops the knowledge and skills needed for general management by utilizing an instructional philosophy called "discussion pedagogy with experiential learning." Unlike the lecture method of instruction, discussion pedagogy uses case studies and provides a continuous process of integration of management skills with course content. 
 
In 1995 Heidelberg University began operating the MBA program at the Arrowhead Park site in Maumee. Currently, all courses are only being offered at the Arrowhead Park Campus. This program operates in an eight-week term format, with six terms offered during the year. All courses are offered in an evening format designed to accommodate working professionals.

Research shows those with an MBA are more likely to be high performers, well prepared for the challenges of their positions, promoted sooner and paid more on average than their peers. MBA graduates are in high demand by businesses and command higher salaries. Earning an MBA will increase employment opportunities and offer advancement for the student. Those working full time and pursuing an MBA part time are often well compensated for applying what they’ve learned at the office. Many working MBA students receive raises and promotions while pursuing, and upon completion of, their MBA. In addition to the financial benefits, an MBA can fulfill a personal goal. It provides the opportunity for you to complete a challenging educational experience and demonstrate your unique abilities. Most employers also see the benefits of employees obtaining an MBA and they will pay for all or most of the cost. They know an MBA can make a major difference in long-term management performance.
