The RU Difference - With the RU MBA, you experience business

"The RU MBA in particular is noted for the commitment that our faculty bring to connecting with each individual student to ensure their success. Our faculty are the best in building working relationships that last a lifetime." Dr. Faye W. Bilbert, Dean, RU College of Business and Economics

The RU MBA is a broad-based, cross-functional education designed to prepare students for advanced leadership roles in both private and public sectors of the global economy. Graduate business courses provide experiential learning opportunities that engage students in the educational process,thereby providing a bridge between theory and practice.

A schedule and location to meet YOUR needs...

Radford University offers two AACSB-accredited MBA programs:

1. Accelerated, Full-time MBA program (offered on the RU campus)

2. Professional MBA Program (offered in Roanoke and Radford)

Full-time students can earn their MBA in 16 months while engaging in programs and courses designed to prepare them to become leaders in a diverse global work environment. Professional MBA students can complete their program at the Roanoke or Radford campus in just two years time and will develop relevant skills and knowledge that will benefit their careers during their coursework, not just after receiving the degree.

RU MBA classes are offered during the day on the main Radford campus, and in the evenings in Roanoke and Radford to accommodate the needs of all our students who need to balance their lives as current and future working professionals.
