Curriculum
Miami’s MBA is designed for you to succeed as a working professional. Courses are delivered in six-week formats so you focus on one course at a time to fit your schedule. Develop holistic, integrated knowledge through core courses including Accounting for Managers, Strategic Human Resource Management, and Marketing Analytics.
I chose to pursue the MBA degree as a means of accessing jobs in the executive ranks. A few months before I graduated, I was promoted to a job that had previously been inaccessible to me. I'm now in my second global Vice President role with broader reach. Needless to say, my earnings have far outpaced my financial investment in attending Miami University's MBA program.

Vice President Human Resources StandardAero, Component Repair Services
What I received from the Miami MBA program delivered value far beyond my expectations and without question accelerated my growth both personally and professionally. The experiences brought by the tenured faculty and the other members of my cohort created a learning experience that has helped me become a more rounded and prepared business leader. I believe I now approach business strategy and decision making from a much more informed perspective, and I directly credit that to my experience with the Miami MBA program!
Nate Held, MBA '15
Regional Business Director, Johnson & Johnson
My technical degree paved the way for my first job. My Miami MBA accelerated my career journey. The combination of both academic experiences provides the competence and confidence to make business decisions that support societal, customer, partner and company successes. The distinct approach of the Miami University MBA program is the role faculty-mentors play in identifying the unique value of each student and consistently raising the bar to challenge students to generate solutions from a broad perspective.
