The UNT College of Business is one of the largest colleges in the United States and has been continuously accredited by AACSB International — The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business since 1969, meaning it has repeatedly passed strict academic standards for excellence in education.
The M.B.A. with a concentration in Strategic Management provides you the broad exposure to skills necessary for managing an organization. Strategic Management involves establishing the major direction, strategies and broad policies that an organization will follow to accomplish its objectives.
In the program, you will focus on courses in business ethics, complex organizations, entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business operations, management of team-based organizations, operations management, organizational behavior and strategic processes, among others.
The UNT Dallas MBA in Strategic Management can be achieved through both traditional evening classes and with Saturday classes available. The Saturday classes take a blended learning approach — course content is delivered 55 percent on site and 45 percent online. Saturday on-site classes are offered either in one all day seminar or in two morning- or afternoon-only seminars per month. Each session is filled with creative group and individual activities and is taught through a variety of techniques, including case analysis, review and critique of managerial actions, articles, decision-making frameworks and tools, videos and discussion forums. This schedule is superb for busy, working professionals.
