Master of Business Administration

Queens University’s McColl School of Business has launched a fully redesigned MBA program, which focuses on meeting student needs through customization while offering programming that develops strong leaders. “We offer 8-week classes in a hybrid format – a mix of in-person and online – with residencies that focus on career planning, soft skills training, and networking opportunities,” said Denise Rotondo, Ph.D., dean of the McColl School of Business. “Combined with several new lanes to acquire hands-on experience with real business projects, the new McColl MBA will help accelerate career growth.”

“The experience I have gained through the MBA program at Queens has developed my confidence and growth potential more than I could have ever imagined. The faculty truly invests in your ambitions. Your classmates will lift you up, and the Queens community at large will inspire you to change the world.”
