Kaplan University/Newsweek MBA
Newsweek Master of
Business Administration
The objective of the Newsweek Master of Business
Administration program is to help students satisfy their intellectual curiosity, build knowledge, and prepare to successfully
undertake leadership positions in competitive, global business
environments. The program will challenge students to critically
examine the theories and practices comprising the body of
knowledge related to the conduct of business in dynamic,
international environments and increase the breadth and depth
of their skills and abilities. Upon successful completion of the
program, graduates will be awarded a Master of Business
Administration degree.
Students whose academic backgrounds do not include economics, statistics, accounting, or finance should attain that
knowledge prior to advancing to candidacy in the Newsweek

students to these essential skills (KU 510: Foundations of
Mathematics and Economics and KU 511: Foundations of
Accounting and Finance).
The Newsweek Master of Business Administration degree
program consists of a minimum of 52 quarter credit hours.
In addition, students may add a specialization to their degree
plan, for which they are required to take a minimum of four
courses from a group of two specializations. Specializations
are not required for completion of the general program.
Specializations include international business and international
health care management.
