Montclair State graduates are well-rounded, self-motivated and employed in many of the best companies in the region. Equipped with an education built upon standards of excellence, alumni enjoy tremendous opportunities for a rich and rewarding career.

The curriculum stresses the conceptual foundations of business disciplines and current managerial practices. This blend of theory and practice builds a strong foundation for immediate practical application as well as post-graduate professional growth.

The Montclair MBA provides individuals the opportunity to design unique programs to meet their specific needs and interests. Students may choose to concentrate in one of seven areas or they may select from an array of courses that provide a broad education. Full-time faculty with doctoral degrees teach 95 percent of MBA classes. The remaining classes are taught by persons with outstanding professional credentials.

The School of Business Administration invites applications from persons with baccalaureate or post-baccalaureate degrees. Because we actively seek a diverse student body, all previous academic majors are considered for admission. Both full-and part-time students are welcome. Courses are offered in the late afternoon, evenings and Saturdays.
