Since then, it has continued to evolve and improve each year. The MBA program is fully accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business. Approximately 35 students will comprise the part-time OU MBA at Zanesville. Typically, about half of the class will have an academic background in business, while the remaining students will have undergraduate preparation in liberal arts or technical areas. This diversity brings a desired breadth and depth of knowledge and experience to the learning community.
All faculty members hold doctoral degrees and have business experience.
The majority of the program will involve problem-based learning that incorporates accounting, business law, finance, management, strategy, marketing and statistics. Each student will create a portfolio demonstrating the mastery of skills and competencies developed in the program. A student who elects not to participate in the JSCP may, with faculty approval, design his or her own independent study project. When not in class, students will utilize innovative technology to access learning modules and complete individual assignments, to collaborate with team member, and to interact with faculty and outside experts. Students are also required to have a computer that meets MBA program specifications.
