Arcadia University

A vibrant, engaged campus revolves around the historic Grey Towers Castle and the new Commons student center. Arcadia is Philadelphia's global university and a pioneer in international education.  Their specializations include Entrepreneurship, Finance, and Leadership, and over a twenty-two month study period, students are given two opportunities to study internationally, making this MBA course quite different to other Rising Stars. The M.B.A. curriculum is delivered using a cohort model. Students take accelerated seven-week courses over a 20-month period. On campus courses meet 4.5 hours per week for a total of 31.5 contact hours. Out-of-class readings, assignments, research, projects, group work, etc. will require a minimum of 10 to 20 hours per week. Courses utilize a variety of delivery techniques such as textbooks, case studies, individual/group projects, experiential exercises and guest speakers. Embedded in the program are two one-week international travel experiences. These will be credit-bearing offerings (2 credits each) enabling students to gain firsthand knowledge of the challenges of global businesses in both a developing and a developed economy. Students complete the MBA program with the final course in global strategic management. Check this MBA out!
