Lehigh Holds MBA Open House
The Lehigh College of Business and Economics will be holding a MBA Open House April 7. The event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Rauch Business Center on the Lehigh campus. During the event, prospective students will have the opportunity to learn more about Lehigh University, the flexible MBA options and meet with current students. Those interested in attending the open house can complete a registration form online.
The curriculum for the MBA program at Lehigh is designed to prepare students to be leaders who are not only grounded in business savvy, but also globally aware and economically and environmentally conscious. The Lehigh MBA values the constantly changing landscape of global business and provides experiences inside and outside of the classroom to make sure its students are getting the most current and applicable knowledge and skills.
The Lehigh MBA is a 36-credit program that begins with a mandatory weekend orientation and ends with a capstone course that draws upon the student’s knowledge acquired during the MBA core curriculum experience. In-class teams closely resemble cross-functional corporate teams where each person has a different and valuable set of knowledge, skills and experience.
By combining industry projects, high-level class discussions, case analyses, and a computer simulation competition, the MBA Core exposes students to rigorous theoretical analysis while providing hands-on, simulated real world business experiences.
Courses for the MBA program are available through on-campus study or through distance education. Students also have the option to follow one mode of instruction exclusively or mix and match modes to fit their schedule.
