Become a master of business

Administering JSU's graduate business programs

The Business Graduate Programs unit administers all graduate degree programs offered by the College of Business: the Master of Business Administration (MBA), the MBA On-line, the Master of Professional Accountancy (MPA), the MPA Online, and the Ph.D. Program in Business with majors in Accounting, Economics, and Management.

The unit is staffed by the program director and the administrative assistant for master's and Ph.D. programs. It works in coordination with the office of the dean and the two departments of the College — the Department of Accounting, Finance, and Entrepreneurship and the Department of Business Administration.

Vision for impact

The College of Business seeks to be recognized for having a positive impact on the lives of our students, successful career progression of our faculty, and contributions to the prosperity of the local community, metro Jackson, and the State of Mississippi.

We achieve this vision through offering unique educational opportunities and rigorous academic standards in the classroom, providing a supportive environment for faculty to excel in teaching and service, promoting relevant high-quality scholarship, and contributing to the economic development of the region and the state through national and global partnerships with educators and business owners.

Beyond classroom instruction, programs provide hands-on learning through internships, co-op programs, experiential learning projects, and case studies — allowing students to apply what they have learned to real-world business situations.
