Master of Business Administration (MBA)

Program Overview

Dominican University of California leads in the graduate study of Business by offering an innovative Master's of Business Administration (MBA) program that addresses head-on real-world issues that resonate for today's, as well as tomorrow’s, business leaders and entrepreneurs.

Students in the MBA program select one of three concentrations—Global Management (GM), Strategic Leadership (SL) and Sustainable Enterprise (SE) Green MBA ®—that have direct application to the current, and future, business world and that allow them to hone the skills they need to excel. 

Global Management students focus on global issues or those particular to a continent or region, such as Europe, Asia or Latin America. They gain an edge in learning about the economic, social, cultural, political, and legal implications of conducting business in today’s global economy.

Geared for experienced managers, the Strategic Leadership program concentrates on leadership cultivation and development. Students grapple with salient and timely issues in the workplace, including team-building, diversity, corporate communications, ethics and social responsibility, and problem-solving.

Designed for leaders focused on developing financially viable, ecologically sustainable, and socially just initiatives within their organizations, the Green MBA ® takes a collaborative, project-based approach in teaching students how to integrate their commitment to environmental preservation and restoration with sound business practices.
