Business Administration, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Concentration, MBA

The Mission of the USF MBA programs is to promote disciplined analysis as a catalyst to positive change in business practice. We combine the global diversity of our students, analytical rigor of our faculty, and the entrepreneurial energy of our region to create a rigorous and practical learning environment that is regionally anchored, nationally recognized and globally respected.

The USF MBA is distinguished by the comprehensive way it accompanies students on their professional development journey. Rooted in a classic liberal arts tradition that applies critical thinking, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and refined communication skills to the study of business and management, the MBA program addresses career preparation from several perspectives, each designed to collaborate in building an overall professional profile for success in business and in life.

Foundational to the program is a challenging academic curriculum designed to train students to meet the requirements for a diverse and rapidly changing global workforce. Students are supported in their intellectual inquiries by complementary programs embedded in the context of a vibrant business community that provide personalized career services aimed at matching students’ skills and passions with employment opportunities. In turn, academic and professional preparation is sustained by an expansive series of co-curricular programs and mentor-supported reflections directed at encouraging students to discern and articulate their values as they develop their characters. Enhanced by collaborative activities that promote engagement with the society they seek to serve as contributing citizens, the MBA program at the University of San Francisco continues the Jesuit tradition of magis, doing more for the greater good.
