The new MBA program at Elmhurst College aims even higher. It goes beyond the traditional approach of imparting an analytic framework to solving problems.

Every course builds the core competencies required for strong business leadership-including team building, analytical thinking, interpersonal communication, information technology, negotiation, an understanding of business ethics, and the capacity to thrive in a diverse, increasingly global business environment.
