Embrace Your Leadership Capabilities with the Concordia University Chicago MBA

Managers keep the wheels turning, making sure everything is running smoothly and operating efficiently. Earning an MBA is the perfect way to ensure you are up to the task. 

The general MBA program at Concordia University Chicago is a diverse, well-rounded program that teaches students how to be leaders in the workplace. With courses that dive into artificial intelligence, business analytics, and design thinking, students graduate from the general MBA program with a keen understanding of current and future leadership strategies and tactics.

CUC’s College of Business has a small instructor-to-student ratio, which is very good for me. It allows students to have access to all their instructors, and for the instructors to make sure their students are on the same page. Small-to medium-sized classes really made a difference in my learning.
