The new program aims to satisfy the growing need in today’s business environment for professionals with the expertise, insight, and vision to tackle the technical, interpersonal, and conceptual problems specific to their field. Graduates also will be eligible to pursue higher academic or professional pursuits, such as earning a doctorate in business or law.
