Master of Business Administration Online

The MBA Online (MBAO) program provides today's students with the tools necessary to become leaders in the workplace of tomorrow. The MBAO pools the impressive resources and diverse perspectives of accredited University of Texas System institutions. Students will find a highly skilled, statewide team of professors presenting an interactive curriculum. The program offers the choice of a general management degree, but also offers an option of three finance courses as electives.

• General Management Degree
• General Management Degree with Finance Emphasis

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) Online degree is a general management program delivered via distance education technologies. The UT TeleCampus, a virtual campus dedicated to distance learning support services, facilitates the design and delivery of the asynchronous collaborative degree program.

A consortium of the Colleges of Business and Technology at the following institutions participate in the MBA Online program:

The University of Texas at Arlington
The University of Texas at Brownsville

The University of Texas at Dallas
The University of Texas at El Paso
The University of Texas - Pan American
The University of Texas of the Permian Basin
The University of Texas at San Antonio
The University of Texas at Tyler

All members of the consortium are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to offer an MBA degree. The Colleges of Business Administration at UT Arlington, El Paso, Pan American, San Antonio and Tyler have AACSB-International Association of Management Education (AACSB) accreditation. UT Brownsville and UT Dallas are in the AACSB candidacy process.

All participating institutions have authority from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) to offer an MBA degree and to accept the courses included in the MBA Online degree plan.

Purpose

As the size and diversity of the population of Texas increase, the responsibility of the state to provide more opportunities for higher education also rises. The MBA Online uses distance education technologies to forward its mission to provide superior instruction and learning opportunities to students from a wide range of social, ethnic, cultural and economic backgrounds. The MBA Online program provides affordable advanced education to students who might not otherwise be able to participate due to a variety of reasons, such as work, family or geographical constraints.
