Delivered via IVN (North Dakota
Interactive Video Network)
The UND College of Business and Public Administration (CoBPA) is one of fewer
than 390 schools in the United States (and the only one in North Dakota) whose
graduate (and undergradate) business programs are accredited by the
International Association for Management Education (AACSB). The CoBPA operates
out of Gamble Hall on UND's main campus. Gamble Hall provides an excellent
learning environment. Gamble Hall is linked to the North Dakota Interactive
Video Network (IVN). IVN enables visual, conversational communication between
eleven North Dakota University System campuses, the state capitol and the tribal
colleges.
The distance MBA courses are held only in Bismarck and Dickinson via the North
Dakota Interactive Video Network (IVN) from Grand Forks in conjunction with the
regular campus schedule. Students normally meet in the evening once a week for
three hours.
The MBA degree program is an interdisciplinary program intended to prepare
students to meet "real world" management challenges at the executive level. It
seeks to cultivate leadership and decision-making skills and to instill an
entrepreneurial spirit.
The MBA program was designed for people who have degrees in business and for
students who have undergraduate backgrounds in other specialties.
The core of the program consists of eight classes (24 credit hours) and an
Independent Study (2 credit hours). Two classes (6 credit hours) of cognate
electives are also required, bring the total to 32 credit hours.
