Delaware has a special connection to the birth of this nation and to "firsts." Three of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were among the first to attend the school that would years later become UD. As the first of the original 13 states to ratify the Constitution, Delaware became the "First State" in the nation.
Today, the Alfred Lerner College of Business and Economics—UD's second largest college, with a diverse, global community of thousands of alumni—introduces yet another first: an innovative, new online MBA degree.
An online MBA degree from UD will provide analytical tools and data as well as creative processes for improving business decision making. While the MBA program offers a broad view of business, courses in international business and finance will empower you with the skills and confidence to navigate a dynamic, global economy.
In the capstone course, teams of students will apply the knowledge and skills obtained throughout the program to turn around a multimillion-dollar company. Groups will compete within the cohort to determine the best strategic plan and execution.
