A Master in Business Administration degree is one of the most prestigious that anyone can receive. Graduate students receive it by taking courses in such subjects as finance, marketing, customer relations, operations management and human resources, and many choose to specialize in one or another of these fields. Having been awarded the degree, the recipient can then go on to work as an executive in some major company, perhaps becoming the head of the human resources or other department. This article will be exclusively about the MBA online programs offered at Norwich University — the Military College of Vermont. This private institution is located in Northfield and is the oldest of the nation’s six senior military colleges; its honors will be mentioned at the end of the article.
It is possible to graduate from Norwich University in as little as two years after taking all online courses that count towards an MBA. Groups of students who progress with each other until graduation consist of a maximum of sixteen. Three possible areas of concentration may be pursued by those who are working towards the degree:
- Finance: covers forex markets, the international financial environment, multinational corporation management, portfolio management
- Organizational leadership: skills required for managing a modern-day multinational organization, including change management and models of organizational behavior
- Project management: This is one of the most important and responsible jobs that anyone can have, as those who regularly watch The Apprentice well know. The student in this field learns such skills as procuring assets, risk management, communication, life cycles and strategic problem solving.
A free brochure that outlines the MBA curriculum may be ordered on Norwich’s website. The form is on the left side of the screen (unlike at other universities, where it is on the right). The applicant simply selects the highest level of education he or she has completed, fills in his first and last names (separately) and gives his ZIP code, phone number and email address.
Norwich University has received accreditations from two bodies:
- the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs
- the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (through its Commission on Institutions of Higher Education)
Its MBA program has been placed in the top quarter by U. S. News and World Report.
