"An MBA ideally prepares someone to become an effective leader in their organization. I love to bring current and real projects into my classes to help students learn to make decisions in such a dynamic environment. Instead of focusing on what textbooks have to say, we bring actual problems and solutions into everything students do. This approach is what helped me grow the most when I got my MBA here, and I have seen this to be students' preferred way of learning still. My USU MBA changed my life, and the practical nature of today's USU MBA continues to be a game changer."

Student Feedback

Our students are the heart of this program. Hear directly from them to see if this program can empower your future like it did for theirs.

An MBA from USU’s Huntsman School of Business was perfect for me, my family, and my situation. I was able to take the professional MBA program, while continuing to work at one of the greatest companies in the world — Adobe. It was the perfect balance of learning and practical application. The program includes incredible teachers who made an impact on my life, and I still have a powerful network, and group of friends, that came from my participation in this program. For anyone interested in attaining an MBA, from a great school with great educational, professional, and networking opportunities, I would strongly consider Utah State.

The Huntsman Online MBA program has been the perfect decision for me. I love the flexibility of working on coursework on my own schedule with the unmatched convenience of online lectures and access through the app and website. I have the unique opportunity to be enrolled with two of my coworkers in the online MBA, so we often find ourselves discussing coursework and its immediate applicability to what we’re doing in our business at MKS Instruments. I anticipate learning more through this program that will help me in my career, and am certain it will elevate the impact I can have on peers, colleagues, and community members throughout my life.
