Beyond the required quantitative and analytical training, EIU MBA empowers its students with management and leadership skills that are essential to efficiently work with others, through others and make effective decisions. It is flexible, offering students part-time and full-time, and on-campus and online flexibility. Its flexibility extends further to include programming, which offers two types of capstone experience: a traditional academic thesis and a creative thesis. Networking and professional development is an important aspect to consider when looking at an MBA program and EIU understands that well. The MBA program at EIU puts students in contact with accomplished professionals who can pass along information and knowledge that will help them succeed in the work force. All that and EIU MBA is still affordable. At EIU, we take pride in making a quality education affordable, and the MBA program is no exception. In addition to our competitive tuition rates, students have the chance to compete for a number of program-specific scholarships as well as numerous other financial aid opportunities.
