Program Overview
The University of North Florida opened and began its MBA program in 1972. The program gained AACSB accreditation in 1981 and was successfully re-accredited in 1998 under its new title, AACSB International -- The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.

The purpose of the UNF MBA program is to prepare qualified men and women for positions of leadership in business organizations. The program is designed to meet the graduate educational needs of working individuals, and those pursuing their degree on either a part-time or full-time basis.

The curriculum focuses on developing a general management perspective, and in-depth knowledge of the various skills required to manage effectively in a rapidly changing and increasingly technical and global environment. A variety of approaches to learning is used, including lectures, case analysis, and group work and team building exercises. The curriculum allows students to concentrate in a functional discipline or participate in one of two certificate programs.

The MBA program is designed for students with any bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university. The average MBA student has a GMAT score of 530. Students with non-business degrees prepare for graduate business study by completing appropriate Foundation Courses.

The MBA program is 36 semester hours (9 core courses plus 3 electives). While the MBA is designed as a generalist degree, concentrations allow MBA students to design an individualized degree curriculum that allows for specialization in a functional specialty. These concentrations thus provide the student with a unique opportunity to add extra credentials to their resume.

Concentrations require the student to successfully complete electives that have been approved for their chosen concentration. The 9 hours for the concentration excludes hours taken as part of the core MBA curriculum. In order to count an elective course toward a concentration, students must successfully complete the course by earning a B (3.0) or better.

Students in the MBA program may choose the general business track or one of the following concentrations:

If study abroad courses are chosen, these courses must have a significant
e-commerce orientation to be counted toward this concentration.

An MBA student may use a maximum of one international business internship toward his/her degree. The internship must involve a significant, appropriate work experience. Moreover, it must provide a new experience with respect to business culture.

For example, a student working in a business located outside the student’s native country would normally qualify, unless the student had been in that country for a considerable time prior to the start of the internship. That is, it must be both a new country and a new experience.

All internships must be approved in advance by the international business curriculum director and the MBA director.
