MBA in Business Practice

An MBA program shouldn’t be just about theory and philosophy from a textbook. Business leaders today must find ways to utilize traditional business theory in an increasingly non-traditional business environment. Real world skills and judgment are needed to identify and capitalize on market opportunities and to use those opportunities to build something of value, whether it’s in a corporate setting, a non-profit, or an entrepreneurial venture.

Concordia’s MBA in Business Practice gives you a foundation in business theory and the hands-on practical skills that make businesses run in today’s world.

The Concordia MBA Program in California

Business Practice-Focused, Not Management-Focused. There are plenty of MBA programs in California that specialize in management theory and practice. Our MBA program focuses on the business practices necessary to build a business or a business unit.

Faculty of Professionals. Our students learn how business is done by the people actually doing it.

Highly-Personalized and Highly-Customizable. After five core courses that all of our students take, each student chooses a track that is focused on a specific business practice—for example, Sales and Marketing, or Green Business and Sustainability—or students may even choose from among elective courses to create their own track.

Professional Calling. As a Lutheran Christian university, we understand God’s gifting of individuals to fulfill their professional calling. Our MBA courses are taught by Christian faculty and business professionals who desire to help students develop their gifts.

Convenient. Through evening courses, you can complete the 40 unit program in 24 months while you work. And because we do not require the GMAT, you can get started in the program sooner.

Affordable. Simply compare the cost of the Concordia MBA to other MBA programs. Our focus on business practice and our faculty of business professionals help us offer a very competitive tuition rate.

Strategic and Beautiful Location. We offer our MBA program on our beautiful campus located in Irvine and close to the 405. You’ll take your courses on our university campus, not in an office building.
