"It gave me that extra edge."

An MBA degree is becoming so essential to business professionals that it is rarely, “Should I get an MBA?”, but rather, “Where am I going to get an MBA?” 

Our unique, comprehensive program blends research-based academic concepts with immersive, real-world experiences so you’re prepared to pursue that breakout role with the company of your dreams or pivot to a different industry or aspect of business.

The Lindner MBA offers:

  • Return on your Investment
    • Personal career coaching and mentorship to help you dive into the marketplace — our graduates consistently earn more than 90% job placement rate upon graduation.
    • A tuition rate that pays off — the average starting salaries for our MBA graduates are often three, four or even five times the cost of earning the degree!
    • A global alumni network of 40,000+ strong willing to connect and mentor you.
