Dear Colleague:
We warmly welcome you to the Benedictine University MBA Program Web
Page.
We live in an era of breathtaking change in financial opportunities
and market-oriented realities for managers and their organizations.
Ambiguity, uncertainty, and risk characterize our environment and
daily test the creative energies and stamina of thousands of organizational
managers. These managers--people like you and us--must continuously
strive for flexibility, manage change as a matter of routine, elicit
the best cooperative efforts from others, and use analytical tools
to help our organizations of people deal with the changing environment.
Moreover, we must accomplish these goals in a manner that protects
scarce resources, particularly our human workforce.
In the past, managers could often succeed because of intuition and
experience, hard work intelligence, and commitment. These traits,
although still important, will not be sufficient to meet the demands
of running tomorrow's organizations. Professional training in the
field of business and management is rapidly becoming an essential
factor in achieving and sustaining local, regional, and global competitiveness.
For people who have identified a successful career in management as
their goal, the MBA degree is indispensable. It is the most efficient
way to gain the skills and knowledge necessary for professional and
personal success. Further, it provides permanent certification that
people who have successfully completed its requirements are professionally
qualified as managers.
We understand that you have many choices in graduate schools that
offer the MBA degree and we urge you to pursue the degree wherever
you determine the fit between you and the school is best. At the same
time, we sincerely invite your interest in the Benedictine MBA Program
because we believe that we offer high levels of quality, innovation,
hospitality, flexibility, accessibility, and value rooted in greater
than 1,500 years of Benedictine heritage.
