New curriculum designed to keep pace with changing demands of the modern workplace

 

Ashford University has introduced a new version of its Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. The degree programs at Ashford University are regularly reviewed, evaluated and refreshed as appropriate.

The revamped version of Ashford's MBA program features updated curriculum that includes new courses in Financial Accounting and Statistical Analysis. Furthermore, three core courses in Organizational Behavior, Managerial Finance and Managerial Accounting incorporate curricular changes that address emerging topics in business and professional ethics.

Ashford University, a postsecondary and graduate-level educational institution owned by Bridgepoint Education, Inc. (NYSE: BPI), continues to offer many specializations with the MBA to meet a wide range of business needs. Besides the standard specialization, students can opt for specializations in Business Economics, Entrepreneurship, Environmental Management, Finance, Global Management, Healthcare Administration, Human Resources Management, Information Systems, Marketing, Organizational Leadership, Project Management, Public Administration or Supply Chain Management.

"Ashford University's new MBA degree is designed to challenge minds to consider alternative possibilities, to imagine new markets and to think of new ways to conduct business," explained Dr. Michael Reilly, executive dean for Ashford's College of Business and Professional Studies.

Ashford University's Master of Business Administration degree is currently available online. It does not provide licensure or certification of any kind, and it is the student's responsibility to determine individual states' requirements for practice.
