Saint Leo fast-tracks MBA degree
ST. LEO – Saint Leo University’s Tapia College of Business is offering three MBA pathways streamlined from 36 credits, making it possible to complete a graduate degree more quickly, affordably and with greater specialization.
- 30-credit MBA in Management: This pathway teaches analytical and strategic skills for business management, helping students build on their professional experience to accelerate career growth. “This program offers a convenient and affordable way for working professionals to advance in their careers without putting them on hold,” said Pamela Lee, MBA program director.
- 30-credit Flexible MBA: This pathway allows students to customize their degree with electives from varied fields, including human resources, project management, health care management, marketing and supply chain management. Students gain broader exposure to multiple business fields, helping them become more well-rounded and acquire skills beyond what a traditional MBA offers.
- 33-credit Specialized MBA: Students can choose from specializations that align with the demand from fast-growing industries, including accounting, cybersecurity, data analytics, finance, marketing and health care management. “While we offered a specialized MBA in the past, this year we’ve updated it with new specializations that meet workforce demand in fewer credit hours,” Lee said.
