Mission and Objectives
The UHV MBA program combines the structure of the strategic planning model with the flexibility to respond to emerging issues in the global business environment. Each class combines business theory with practical applications, ensuring that students grasp the context in which they will practice their new skills.
The personal attention that our faculty and staff give to our students is outstanding, and cited by many current students and alumni as one of the primary reasons they chose UHV. Our small-school atmosphere promotes the very best in student-faculty interaction, as well as student-to-student networking.
In 2003, after 18 months of best-practices research and numerous interviews and focus groups with employers, alumni, students, and other stakeholders, we introduced a new MBA curriculum. This curriculum is innovative, integrated, and applied, culminating in the MBA Conference. Students soon to graduate from the program use all of their management training to prepare an original team case and compete with other student teams for top honors. Our MBA graduates emerge from the program confident of their ability to apply what they've learned to real-world situations.
The mission of the UHV MBA program is to provide individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to successfully manage organizations in a dynamic environment by offering an integrated curriculum that blends theoretical concepts with practical applications. Specifically, the MBA program seeks to develop in each graduate the capacity to:
- understand and adapt to the changing business, political and social environments;
- evaluate and respond to emerging threats and opportunities;
- interact with and effectively lead diverse groups;
- analyze and evaluate business operations and processes; and
- synthesize and apply cross-functional approaches to organizational issues.
