MBA PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

The Lewis University Graduate School of Management MBA Program is committed to traditional standards of quality and innovative methodology. The Lewis approach to executive management education is characterized by:

1. a curriculum which offers both theory and practical application;
2. faculty members who bring formal study, research, and executive experience to the classroom;
3. a program which allows students to proceed at their own scheduling pace, keeping their professional and family requirements in proper balance.

The MBA program is designed for men and women who have the potential and motivation to excel in their individual careers and who have the background and analytical skills necessary for executive decision-making.

The Lewis program offers a comprehensive education in management as well as the opportunity to develop competencies in a specialized functional area of interest.

Specifically the program is designed to:

• Provide students with an understanding of the social, economic and political realities which impact the business environment.
  
• Establish conceptual and innovative abilities in the recognition and resolution of organizational problems.
  
• Strengthen analytical skills in areas of accounting, finance, economics, marketing, information systems, and management.
  
• Enhance interpersonal and communication skills for more effective relationships with staff, teams, peers, and customers.
  
• Strengthen self-confidence in problem analysis and decisiveness; and further interest in lifelong learning and formal education.
  
• Increase long-term potential through the development of management knowledge and skills.

Our students bring to the program rich backgrounds of undergraduate education, professional experience, multiculturalism and global perspectives. This richness of diversity lends itself to dynamic classroom discussion.

Students come from 60 public and private universities. The majority of MBA students currently hold managerial, administrative, technical and professional positions in the Chicago metropolitan area. Many of our graduate students come from Fortune 500 companies, as well as various governmental and non-profit agencies.

The one common element of Lewis MBA students is their motivation toward outstanding achievement in the classroom and in their personal and professional lives.
