Master of Business Administration

US News and World Report - best MBA 2023

Business leaders manage a company's operational, organizational, and managerial responsibilities. A Master of Business Administration provides training in the theory and practice of business management, and it prepares you to lead an organization's key business operations.

The IU Online Master of Business Administration includes two in-residence experiences, one at the beginning of the program and one at the end. These events allow students to network with each other while consulting on live cases as part of a case competition or attending conference style events.
