Morningside University has received approval from the Higher Learning Commission to launch a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program starting in January 2025. This program is designed to meet the changing needs of working professionals, students looking to further their education, and the Siouxland business community. Coursework will be offered entirely online with an option to complete some classes in-person should a student prefer that delivery model.

“Earning an MBA is a big step in improving one’s career opportunities,” said Dr. Albert Mosley, president of Morningside University. “We are dedicated to providing our students with the skills they need to succeed and advance in today’s job market, and our new MBA program reflects that commitment.”

The MBA program focuses on developing important skills in leadership, strategic decision-making, and innovation. Classes will last eight weeks to accommodate busy lives, and students can opt for part-time or full-time study. With small class sizes, participants can expect a high level of engagement. Additionally, applicants will benefit from rolling admissions and an affordable tuition rate of $400 per credit hour.

“As we developed this program with our faculty, our primary focus was on ensuring flexibility. We aim to make the MBA accessible for both busy working professionals and undergraduate students at Morningside who wish to continue their education seamlessly,” said Darrel Sandall, dean of the Morningside University School of Business. “Ultimately, our goal is to provide exceptional value through the MBA program, equipping individuals with the essential skills for professional growth and advancement while keeping costs manageable.”

The university is excited to launch the program this spring and looks forward to adding even more flexible options as it grows. Students interested in the program can view more here or complete the application here.
