Graduate Programs
The McColl School of Business educates students to become successful business and professional leaders who are competent, understand the importance of character and are committed to their communities. We seek to prepare individuals for careers by providing high quality, innovative undergraduate and graduate business education whichprovides students the opportunity to develop business and management abilities.
The McColl School offers a comprehensive set of educational programs and enrichment opportunities which serve as important educational resources for the Charlotte region and beyond. Our vision is to build a brand that identifies the McColl School name with "leadership." We believe that organizations need leaders with integrity at all levels and that leadership can be learned. We also believe that beyond mastering basic business skills, students need to understand their own values and draw on their knowledge and values to influence people within their organizations and communities. We focus on leadership when recruiting faculty, developing curricular content and structure, connecting with our business community and conveying to our students the concepts of leadership in association with competence, character, and community.
The McColl School offers an undergraduate business major as well as four graduate degree programs and one graduate certificate program: Professional MBA, Executive MBA, MS in Organization Development, MS in Executive Coaching, and a Coaching Certificate Program.
There are two distinct programs leading to the Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. The Professional MBA program allows flexibility in scheduling classes most of which are offered on weekday evenings. Depending on the number of credit hours completed each term, the PMBA program can be completed in two to three years.
The Executive MBA program meets on alternating Fridays and Saturdays for twenty months. It is an intensive, integrated program in general management designed for people with substantial experience in managing people, assets or data.
