Program Requirements
The world is full of talented professionals with great ambitions. But to achieve success, a professional also needs to refine their business skills, and master the basic tools required to operate a successful and thriving organization. A Master of Business Administration can set an individual on the right path towards professional growth: an MBA can help a student stay competitive by providing them with a strong understanding of fundamental business subjects, like finance and marketing, as well as new ones that are changing the game, like analytics and information systems.
Studies have shown that MBA graduates may achieve bumps in pay, increases in responsibility, and often new, prestigious positions that would not have been available without the degree. An MBA also connects experienced professionals with a more expansive network, allowing students to turn their classroom relationships into real-life business partnerships and connections with alumni into advantageous career opportunities.
The passion and excellence that LSU stands for have earned the school a coveted "Tier One" spot in U.S. News & World Report's “Best Colleges.” As the state’s flagship university, LSU has been preparing students for rewarding careers for nearly 150 years. Today, LSU is equally proud of its strides to make education more accessible through innovative online degree programs that are every bit as rigorous as its on-campus programs.
Through the dedication of an exceptional faculty and staff, LSU is one of only 30 universities in the United States designated as a land-grant, sea-grant, and space-grant institution. In addition, LSU is the only public top-tier university—and the only university in Louisiana—to receive the honor of being placed in the "very high research activity" category by the Carnegie Foundation.
