About the Program
The Master of Business Administration, Master of Science in Management, and Certificate of Graduate Studies in Management programs are designed to prepare graduates to successfully lead and manage organizations in a constantly changing environment. In both the for-profit and not-for-profit environments, today's executive is faced with a myriad of concerns ranging from ethical and human rights issues to globalization and environmental protection. The Salve Regina University Business Administration and Management curriculum provides the technical knowledge and skills to appreciate and address these and other critical contemporary issues. The programs are directed toward developing leaders with a focus on ethics, organizational behavior, finance, economics, accounting and strategic management. Social purpose and workplace humanization are underlying program values aligned with the University's mission to work for a world that is harmonious, just and merciful.
On-Campus, Online or On-site
The Master of Business Administration and Master of Science in Management degrees may be earned by taking courses on campus, online through eSalve, or by participating in specially designed programs on-site at your workplace. Many students accelerate completion of their degrees by taking a combination of on-campus and online courses simultaneously. If a business, agency or organization is interested in sponsoring an on-site program, a representative should contact the Graduate Program Director for additional information.
Five-Year Program
Salve Regina University offers an accelerated program of study that leads to both a bachelor's and a master's degree within five years. This program is designed for the University's highly motivated, academically talented and qualified undergraduate students with a recommended grade point average of 3.30 or higher. Current undergraduates must complete the application process by March 15 of the junior year.
Undergraduate students considered for the five-year program are conditionally accepted into the M.B.A. or M.S. program and must take four graduate courses (12 credits) their senior year. Of these 12 credits, six are applied to the undergraduate degree. Final M.B.A. or M.S. program acceptance is contingent upon successful completion of the undergraduate degree and the four graduate courses in the senior year. The total number of credits required to complete the five-year program is 152 and 24 of the credits are graduate credits taken in the fifth year. Five-year program students are encouraged to complete MGT598: Internship as part of their degree requirements.
