Why Ball State?

The MBA experience at Ball State is really all about you—your career, your needs, your life. We offer a variety of ways to complete the course work and gain the experience you’ll need—without disrupting your life.

You choose how long it takes to get the job done: one year or two. It’s up to you whether you complete your master of business administration (MBA) right after your undergraduate experience, full-time, or perhaps after you’ve been in the workforce for a while. 

You choose where you'll take classes—whether on-campus or via distance education. You choose your area of focus and interest, whether it’s entrepreneurship, finance, sales management, or operations.

Our MBA program is serious business. You’ll come away prepared to enter the world of business several steps ahead your peers, or if you’re already in the workforce, you’ll emerge ready to climb higher on the corporate ladder. You’ll also be prepared for the increasingly global nature of business, with international learning in virtually every core course.

And you can rest assured that the MBA you earn is respected in the industry you’re pursuing. The Miller College of Business is fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the body that certifies the quality of business programs.
