NiagaraUniversity, an AACSB accredited program.The pursuit of a graduate business degree is an important and critical step in your career, one which will require commitment, hard work, endurance, and a supportive family. We at Niagara University appreciate the importance of your decision and promise to do everything possible to make your studies at NU a productive and pleasant experience.

The strength of any MBA program is the interaction between faculty, students, and the business community. To this end we continuously review and update our offerings, processes, and technologies.

We believe our program offers a quality education characterized by small class size, accomplished instructors, a relevant and practice oriented curriculum, and unique opportunities for international experience - including the opportunity to study abroad.  Our program is buttressed by the caliber of its students, which include people from all walks of life in managerial and technical positions at major corporations in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Latin America. 

MBA students have two different tracks for pursuing their degree.  The one option is to attend in the evening in which courses meet on one evening per week over the semester.  The Saturday track is a program which allows the student to complete all course work within 16 months, providing all prerequisite courses are met.

In the Spring of 2001, Niagara University's business programs received accreditation from AACSB International "The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business." This association is the premier accrediting body for bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree programs in business administration and accounting.

Our faculty recognizes the unique character of the Canadian culture and where appropriate incorporates it into the learning experience. As international trade and production becomes seamless, an awareness of and the ability to operate in different cultures is critical. Because our student body is drawn from the United States and Canada (not to mention countries in Asia, Latin America, Russia, and the European Union) we have the opportunity to learn and operate across cultures. The knowledge gained from this exposure will certainly assist you in your future roles.

To better provide you with the tools necessary for success in the business world we have developed a solid curriculum focusing on the practical skills necessary in today's turbulent business environment. We stress traditional areas of study in economics, decision making, finance, accounting, and management. In addition, our program incorporates competencies in negotiations, change management, conflict resolution, and team building, all done with a strategic and international flavor.

Our MBA Student/Alumni Organization affords our current and former students the opportunity to network, continue their education, and engage in social interaction.  In addition, the CEO Speaker Series brings senior level business leaders to our campus for informal meetings with students and alumni.

Our MBA website has a great deal of information, please review it and let me know if I can help.

Best Regards,

Dr. Stephen F. Mayer, Ph.D., P.E.
