Organizations today demand versatile, technologically literate professionals who can actively contribute and thrive in a team/project management environment. The Daniel Webster College MBA program is distinctive in design.  The curriculum sequence is carefully crafted to create classes both grounded in traditional management theory and relevant to problems and trends facing business leaders today.  It offers a threaded, integrated course sequence that promotes understanding of the whole organization rather than the traditional, discipline-specific method.

Because the latest management techniques quickly become obsolete, we focus on developing versatility through critical thinking, intellectual flexibility, analytical and applied research skills, creativity, and high standards for professional integrity and ethics. We designed courses in communication, leadership, organizational behavior, and project management to develop the specific social skills needed in a team-based organizational environment.

The DWC MBA program emphasizes three of the most fundamental aspects of management: leadership, communication, and effective decision-making based on quantitative and qualitative data. To this end, the leadership and communication courses are among the first required core courses of the program. A peer evaluation process provides students with the opportunity to hone their evaluation techniques, including the ability to provide constructive feedback to subordinates and peers. In addition, teamwork, an essential component of project management and organizational life, is stressed through team projects that encourage face-to-face meetings as well as synchronous and asynchronous on-line meetings. Every course offers opportunities to develop decision making skills in practical situations.

The program fosters an integrated approach to management through course sequencing and the use of real world, classical and contemporary case studies. Throughout the program, we base our teaching on the assumption that students have mastered and can apply material from disciplines taught earlier in the curriculum. The globalization of management is infused into the entire program. Information technology is integral in the delivery of every course including the delivery of content materials, student assignments, and communication within the cohort group.
