Sacred Heart University - John F. Welch College of Business

The John F. Welch College of Business at Sacred Heart University prepares students to assume increasingly responsible positions and leadership roles in today's complex and diverse business environment. Our students are ready to meet future business challenges with the innovation and global focus representative of legendary GE Chief, Jack Welch. An emphasis is stressed on theoretical knowledge reinforced with practical application in four areas: international business, technological innovations, communication skills and ethical decision making. The College fosters active learning by its students both during their formal course of studies and throughout their lives.

An AACSB-accredited institution, the Welch College of Business has an innovative faculty that excels in teaching and engages in intellectual contribution, emphasizing pedagogical development and applied research. In addition, the faculty contributed to the Catholic intellectual tradition of the University as it pertains to the preparation of leaders and manages in business. The College is dedicated to nourishing a culture and a learning environment that strives for continuous improvement.

Master of Business Administration

The University's Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program is designed to prepare individuals for successful careers in the ever-changing and complex world of business- one that is increasingly global and in need of socially responsible and ethical decision-makers and leaders.

The MBA program, through its curriculum and teaching, places strong emphasis on the application of business theory to contemporary issues faced by both private and public sector organizations. A main focus of the program is to understand how business enterprises can remain relevant and competitive in an increasingly global economy, characterized by rapid technological change and increasing demands from consumers for value and superior quality and services.

All graduate courses in the John F. Welch College of Business are conducted on a trimester schedule, with the main terms being Fall, Spring and Late Spring. This calendar enables students to complete their degrees faster than in a traditional semester schedule.

Goals and Objectives

The MBA program's objectives are to develop:

  • Management decision-making skills for business, government, health care and nonprofit organizations;
  • Ethical standards to provide a framework for responsible decision-making;
  • Critical thinking, problem-solving and analytical skills in order to respond quickly and creatively to today's business problems;
  • Effective communication and team-building skills in order to bolster organizational effectiveness;
  • Global awareness as more businesses compete in a world marketplace and the workplace itself becomes more diverse and multicultural.

To help students achieve these objectives, the university relies on faculty members who are dedicated to teaching. The faculty combines broad business experience and academic training that help to make the learning experience at Sacred Heart University unique.

Concentrations

The MBA program consists of a prescribed pattern of graduate courses. The entire program is based on a common core of courses that examines all the functions within a business enterprise and the external environment within which it operates.
