Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) logo

The MBA Program is accredited by AACSB International, the gold standard of business school accreditation and a distinction earned by fewer than 5 percent of business schools worldwide. Choosing an accredited program provides a reliable, objective measure of quality that is recognized by employers and academic institutions around the globe.

A Great Education

The UNI MBA program is designed for working professionals who are looking for a relevant education, professional connections and convenient schedule at a reasonable price.

Our small class sizes, outstanding facilities and world-class faculty offer all the benefits of a private institution without the inflated costs.

Coursework features cases, computer simulations and client projects to ensure you can apply classroom concepts in practice. A project with a regional business or non-profit organization concludes the program.

On A Professional's Schedule

The UNI MBA program at Cedar Falls was created to serve both full-time and part-time students through modular scheduling. This design divides the MBA program into three modules of 11 weeks each. All classes in the modules meet once a week and on different days - allowing you to take classes as they work with your schedule. The modular scheduling allows qualified, full-time students to complete the MBA program in a single year at a substantial tuition savings. Part-time students take advantage of our modular scheduling to complete the program over two, three or four years, depending upon available time.

Courses are offered in the evening from 5:30 to 9 p.m., and a couple of special workshops take a full Saturday. Class schedules are provided two to three months in advance, allowing time to coordinate work, family and academic demands. Worried about a professional transfer? We can help plan your MBA program to accommodate your career path.
