II. Degree Information Master of Business Administration Accreditation

All concentrations within the MBA program are accredited by ACBSP. ACBSP, the Accreditation Council of Business Schools and Programs, is the leading specialized accreditation association for business education supporting, celebrating, and rewarding teaching excellence. We sought out programmatic accreditation by the ACBSP (vs. AACSB) because of their mission to emphasize student learning through continuous academic improvement and faculty scholarships.

About ACBSP

The ACBSP was founded in 1988 and is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Association (CHEA), which sets the standard for academic excellence. ACBSP develops, promotes, and recognizes best practices that contribute to continuous improvement of business education and accredits qualified business programs. ACBSP promotes teaching and student‐oriented learning as the institution’s primary objective as opposed to a heavy emphasis on research. Furthermore, ACBSP encourages faculty involvement within the contemporary business world to enhance the quality of classroom instruction and to contribute to student learning.

As of August 2008, ACBSP membership included 585 educational institutions as members, 413 of which have successfully achieved accreditation.


II. Degree Information Master of Business Administration

The program prepares students to take the Educational Testing Service™ Major Field Test™. The courses are designed to give students the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to be an effective manager and leader. The standard MBA contains 12, three‐credit courses which include the following subject areas: Management (gateway course), Human Capital Management, Business Law, Leadership, Quantitative Reasoning for Business (competency course), Economics, Managerial Accounting, Applied Business Research & Statistics, Operations Management, Corporate Finance, Marketing, and Strategic Planning & Implementation. By offering the Quantitative Reasoning for Business course, the MBA prepares students who do not have much prior math experience to be successful critical thinkers and decision makers. Requirements: The MBA consists of 36‐54 credit hours. Thirty‐six credit hours constitute the required course of study. Students may also waive a maximum of nine (9) credits in the MBA program on the basis of prior graduate‐level college coursework. While the University maintains that the majority of coursework in the program must be completed through the University in order to meet residency requirements, a certain number of credits may be waived in order to avoid duplication of coursework. QRB/501, Quantitative Reasoning for Business, may be satisfied in the following ways:

1. Successful completion of the UOPX competency course, QRB/501.

2. In order to waive QRB/501, the student must have completed a previous course that meets the following criteria:

The course must have been completed at a regionally or approved nationally accredited, or candidate for accreditation, college or university;

The course must have been completed within the past ten (10) years with a "B" (3.0) or better; and

The course must be comparable in content and credits to the University course it is replacing and must be an equivalent level. Course descriptions must be included with the course waiver form in order for the Office of Admissions and Evaluation to review the course waiver request.

Examinations: It is important that our students are able to demonstrate an understanding of the business concepts, terms, and applications presented in every course. To gauge our students’ level of understanding and identify any possible gaps in the learning, the UOPX School of Business has created two types of exams in the core courses in the MBA program to assess student learning. One is an end‐course exam and the other is a comprehensive final exam.

Unique Experiences: Students are exposed to a variety of learning assets in each of their courses within the MBA Program. These learning assets include virtual organizations, simulations, e‐book collection, flash‐based tutorials, and other electronic learning materials that are available to students in their business courses.

II. Professional Information (Job outlook and resources)

Source: U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics

Employment of business managers is projected to grow by 12 percent over the 2008‐18 decade, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Continued downsizing by companies and increasing use of office technology may result in a more streamlined organizational structure with fewer levels of management, reducing the need for some positions. Demand should be strong for facility managers because businesses increasingly realize the importance of maintaining, securing, and efficiently operating their facilities. Cost‐cutting measures to improve profitability, streamline operations, and compete globally will continue to be addressed by many organizations, resulting in more firms outsourcing facility management services or hiring qualified facility managers who are capable of achieving these goals in‐house.

Employment of top executives, which includes general and operations managers, is expected to increase 9‐17 percent for all occupations through 2014. Employment growth is expected to be much faster than average in professional, scientific, and technical services and in administrative and support services.

Industry Outlook by Concentration The concentrations should be listed. When you click on the concentration name, the industry outlook information should appear. Accounting:


Accountants and auditors are expected to experience much faster than average employment growth from 2008‐18. Job opportunities should be favorable;

accountants and auditors who have a professional certification, especially CPAs, should have the best prospects. Employment change: Employment of accountants and auditors is expected to grow by 22 percent between 2008 and 2018, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. This occupation will have a very large number of new jobs arise, about 279,400 over the projections decade. An increase in the number of businesses, changing financial laws and corporate governance regulations, and increased accountability for protecting an organization's stakeholders will drive job growth. Job prospects: Job opportunities should be favorable. Accountants and auditors who have earned professional recognition through certification or other designation, especially a CPA, should have the best job prospects. Applicants with a master's degree in accounting or a master's degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting also may have an advantage.

Business managers employed in management services and management consulting should grow as companies increasingly look to outside specialists to handle a myriad of administrative tasks that have become increasingly complex and expensive. Business managers specializing in contract administration will also be in demand as

outsourcing of administrative tasks becomes increasingly prevalent for activities such as food and janitorial services, space planning and design, energy, telecommunications, and grounds and equipment maintenance and repair. Other areas that business managers will increasingly plan and coordinate include information technology, data and personal security, records management, wellness, and energy conservation.

Global Management: There is a growing demand for international education, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce’s report on the nation’s import and export market. A case in point: More than 33 million U.S. jobs are tied to import and export activities. The highest concentrations of these jobs are in California, Texas, New York and Michigan. Also, an additional 1 million jobs are said to be generated by international tourism. The highest concentration of these jobs is in Florida, California, New York and Hawaii. This globalization has increased the need for individuals with specialized knowledge and skills necessary to compete effectively in multicultural and multinational workplace environments. Students who complete this degree program will be marketable to companies that compete both domestically and globally. Employment of top executives, which includes general and operations managers, is expected to increase 9‐17 percent for all occupations through 2014. Employment growth is expected to be much faster than average in professional, scientific, and technical services and in administrative and support services.

Health Care Management: Employment of medical and health services managers is expected to grow 16 percent from 2008 to 2018, faster than the average for all occupations. The healthcare industry will continue to expand and diversify, requiring managers to help ensure smooth business operations. Managers in all settings will be needed to improve quality and efficiency of healthcare, while controlling costs, as insurance companies and Medicare demand higher levels of accountability. Managers also will be needed to oversee the computerization of patient records and to ensure their security as required by law. Additional demand for managers will stem from the need to recruit workers and increase employee retention, to comply with changing regulations, to implement new technology, and to help improve the health of their communities by emphasizing preventive care. A master's degree is the standard credential, although a bachelor's degree is adequate for some entry‐level positions.

Legislation and court rulings revising standards in various areas—occupational safety and health, equal employment opportunity, wages, healthcare, retirement plans, and family leave, among others—will increase demand for human resources, training, and labor relations experts.

Marketing:


Employment is projected to grow about as fast as average. As with most managerial jobs, keen competition is expected for these highly coveted positions. Employment change: Overall employment of advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales managers is expected to increase by 13 percent through 2018. Job growth will be spurred by competition for a growing number of goods and services, both foreign and domestic, and the need to make one’s product or service stand out in the crowd. In addition, as the influence of traditional advertising in newspapers, radio, and network television wanes, marketing professionals are being asked to develop new and different ways to advertise and promote products and services to better reach potential customers. Sales and marketing managers and their departments constitute some of the most important personnel in an organization and are less subject to downsizing or

outsourcing than are other types of managers, except in the case of companies that are consolidating. Employment of these managers, therefore, will vary primarily on the basis of the growth or contraction in the industries that employ them. For example, if, as is expected, the number of automobile dealers declines over the next decade, these major employers of sales managers will need fewer of them. Employment of marketing managers will grow about as fast as average at 12 percent between 2008 and 2018, and that of sales managers will grow faster than average at 15 percent over the same period. Advertising and promotions managers are expected to experience little or no change in employment from 2008 to 2018. Despite large declines in the number of advertising managers in recent years, due mainly to the sharp reduction in the number of advertising agencies and newspaper and periodical publishers, which employ the greatest numbers of these managers, advertising and promotions managers are not expected to experience similar declines in the future. Because advertising is the primary source of revenue for most media, advertising departments are less affected in a downturn. An expected increase in the number of television and radio stations and a sharp increase in the amount of advertising in digital media, such as the Internet and wireless devices will generate a need for advertising managers to oversee new and innovative advertising programs. A number of these advertising managers will be self‐employed. Public relations managers are expected to see an increase in employment of 13 percent between 2008 and 2018, which is about as fast as average for all occupations, as organizations increasingly emphasize community outreach and customer relations as a way to enhance their reputation and visibility. Especially among the growing number of nonprofit organizations, such as education services, business and professional associations, and hospitals, where many of these workers are employed, public relations managers will be charged with promoting the mission of the organization and encouraging membership or use of the organization’s services. Job prospects: Most job openings for this occupation will be due to the need to replace workers who leave the occupation or retire. However, advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales manager jobs are highly coveted and are often sought by other managers or highly experienced professionals, resulting in keen competition. College graduates with related experience, a high level of creativity, and strong communication and computer skills should have the best job opportunities. In particular, employers will seek those who have the skills to conduct new types of advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales campaigns involving new media, particularly the Internet.

Project Management:


Employment is expected to grow much faster than the average for all human resources, training, and labor relations managers and specialists occupations. College graduates and those who have earned certification should have the best job opportunities. Overall employment is projected to grow by 22 percent between 2008 and 2018, much faster than the average for all occupations. Among industries, firms involved in management, consulting, and employment services should offer many job opportunities, as businesses increasingly contract out human resources functions or hire human resources specialists on a temporary basis to deal with increasing costs and complexity of training and development programs. Demand for specialists also should increase in outsourcing firms that develop and administer complex employee benefits and compensation packages for other organizations. Applicants will face keen competition for the limited number of higher‐level management jobs; competition should be less severe for lower‐level management jobs. Job prospects will also be better for those who can manage a wide range of responsibilities, than for those who specialize in particular functions. In addition to the new administrative services management jobs due to growth in the occupation, many job openings will stem from the need to replace workers who transfer to other jobs, retire, or leave the occupation for other reasons.

Technology Management: Employment of computer and information systems managers is expected to grow 17 percent over the 2008‐18 decade, which is faster than the average for all occupations. New applications of technology in the workplace will continue to drive demand for workers, fueling the need for more managers. To remain competitive, firms will continue to install sophisticated computer networks and set up more complex intranets and websites. They will need to adopt the most efficient software and systems and troubleshoot problems when they occur. Computer and information systems managers will be needed to oversee these functions. Since so much business is carried out over computer networks, security will continue to be an important issue for businesses and other organizations, and will lead to strong growth for computer managers. Firms will increasingly hire security experts to fill key leadership roles in their information technology departments because the integrity of their computing environments is of utmost importance.
