Clark MBA prestige. Online.

The Clark University Online MBA combines the advantages of the traditional Clark MBA with the convenience and lower cost of online study. Develop core competencies in accounting, marketing, analytics, and finance while learning how to solve complex management challenges in a collaborative environment.

Education beyond the bottom line

Gain a comprehensive understanding of business as a force in society through discussion of the legal, political, ethical, social, and environmental responsibilities of management. Then add the tools you need to channel that force for positive change with courses like “Responsible Management in a Global Economy” and “Corporate Social Responsibility.”

You don’t just finish the program with a piece of paper – you have real examples you can put at the top of a résumé that are interesting and relevant. That means you’re not just talking about what you’d like to do in five years. Instead, you can show you have actual experience for a company. This is practical stuff.
