Jul. 23—With more people working and learning remotely, Ursuline College announced it has redesigned its Master of Business Administration program to be fully online for maximum flexibility.

Classes begin this fall. In 12 months, students can earn this in-demand degree to grow their careers and personal brands with new professional knowledge, skills, and confidence, according to a news release. Classes are taught in an asynchronous format.

A slower-paced, part-time option is also available.

"In April 2023, Forbes noted that an MBA is more relevant than ever," MBA Program Director Mary Kovach stated in the release. :Whether your undergraduate degree is in business, healthcare, or even fashion, you're afforded more earning power with an MBA. It will help you establish your own business or advance your current career.

"With the asynchronous format, graduate students can attend classes at their convenience — before work,

during lunch, or in the evening," she stated. "Regardless of the time of day, students will have access to professors to answer questions and to mentor them. They will also network with their classmates and other organizations."

Kovach recently joined the Pepper Pike college faculty from Miami University, where she was an associate professor teaching in-person, online, and hybrid business courses.

"Ursuline College already offers a dozen online undergraduate, graduate, and certificate programs," she stated in the release. "The redesigned MBA program builds on this expertise."

"Ursuline has taken the best of our IACBE-accredited MBA program and updated it to meet the needs of professionals in today's market," Jenise M. Snyder, dean of Arts, Sciences and Professional Studies, stated in the release. "This program embodies our mission to prepare our graduates for positions of leadership, service and professional excellence."

Students can enroll now for classes beginning Aug. 21. There are five additional start dates throughout the year.
