Students can choose from the residence-based MBA program or the online MBA in Health Care Leadership. Both options offer a collaborative model, allowing students to learn course content and build communication skills that are essential for leaders of tomorrow.

Viterbo’s campus-based 34-credit MBA program was developed with feedback from regional employers on skills needed for the data-driven business of tomorrow. All courses have a dedication to lean management principles and are designed for both experienced and early-career business professionals. Introductory and advanced-level course options in project management, data analysis, digital marketing, and human capital management make the MBA an ideal opportunity for those seeking breadth or depth of content.
