The Master of Business Administration program offers advanced study for individuals who are interested in managing and leading organizations by providing them with the educational tools necessary for furthering both their knowledge and careers.
Combining the MBA with the MSW provides students with the opportunity to either simultaneously or post graduate, obtain two versatile and valuable degrees. In today’s competitive market, having an MBA in addition to an MSW degree equips individuals with the competitive edge they need to succeed in both the world of social work and business. You can earn both of your degrees from a prestigious university, knowing you are receiving a quality education. The Union MBA is one of nine MBA programs which has the highest level accreditation, AACSB, has an evangelical faith affiliation, and reports that faith affiliation has a significant impact on our program.
The Union MBA offers a unique leveling course that prepares non business majors for entrance into the MBA program. This course is offered every term and students without a business degree are required to complete the course before progressing through the program. It is an intensive course that encompasses Accounting, Statistics, Economics, and Management; it will prepare the student for the rigor of the Union MBA. This eliminates the need for prerequisites, and will allow you to start the program at your convenience.
The MSW/MBA is a combination of social work and MBA courses. Students are required to complete the leveling course, 24 hours of the core MBA program, and will transfer in 12 hours from the MSW social work classes to complete the degree.

Combining business and social work has great potential in affirming dignity to man, building relationships and using economic development, workforce development, and microenterprise to address poverty.
