GLENVILLE, WV – Following recent approvals from the Higher Learning Commission and the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission, ����ֱ�� is now able to offer a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree.

“����ֱ�� is proud to be adding a Master of Business Administration degree to its list of graduate programs,” said Dr. Mark A.

The program consists of 36 credit hours – 21 credit hours in the MBA core and 15 elective hours – using an accelerated eight-week format.

“The MBA program is a wonderful opportunity for our region, the state, and beyond. I am so proud of the hard work of Drs. Dwight Heaster, Kandas Queen, and Mark Sarver and the rest of their business faculty colleagues in envisioning this initiative and bringing it to fruition. This is a game changer for ����ֱ�� State and for our state,” said Dr. Mari Clements, Interim Provost.
