The Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program is delivered through SAU's Rankin College of Business, holding full accreditation from AACSB International - the gold standard for business school accreditation. This prestigious recognition, earned by less than 5% of global business programs, reflects our commitment to academic excellence. Our comprehensive curriculum covers advanced studies in accounting, economics, finance, marketing, organizational behavior, data analysis, strategic leadership, and information systems. The program strongly emphasizes developing awareness in key areas including ethics, globalization, public policy, societal concerns, legal frameworks, environmental sustainability, technological applications, diversity, and effective communication techniques.
Our newest specialization in Social Entrepreneurship comprises 36 credit hours, equipping graduates with tools to drive business solutions for social challenges. The Agricultural Business track offers a 33-credit structure with 24 core credits and 9 specialized electives. Similarly, our Supply Chain Management concentration follows a 33-credit framework with 24 core credits and 9 focus-area electives. Students may pursue these programs through evening classes, online learning, or a hybrid approach combining both formats.
