Program Features

The Cohort Approach

As a cohort, a group of 25 students start and continue the program together building strong relationships and networking which can last a lifetime. Attending the same night throughout your program, Malone provides the convenience and the routine for you to manage the rigor of an MBA. 

Business and Faith

The need for ethics and values in business has never been greater. Malone MBA students explore the challenges of ethical decision making to develop the ability to recognize moral dilemmas and to resolve them in a manner consistent with Christian concepts and morality. The student’s experience of respect and integrity in Malone’s program are the same dispositions encouraged for the student’s professional performance.
