What Should I Consider When Choosing an MSBA Degree?

When choosing where you want to complete your MSBA program, it is important to consider the program’s curriculum, faculty expertise, industry connections, reputation, alumni network, career placement opportunities, and more. Additionally, it is vital that the program aligns with your personal and career goals. Kent State is the perfect destination because we have expert faculty who can give you the skills you need to prepare for life after graduation, as well as financial aid opportunities to help you cover costs. 

Can I Transfer Credits from Another Graduate Program to the MSBA Program?

Yes, typically graduate credits can be transferred from a previous university or a different Kent State graduate program. When transferring your credit, it is important to note that a maximum of 12 hours can be transferred to your MSBA.

For more information regarding our transfer credit requirements, please visit the transfer of graduate credit academic policies.

What Are the Benefits of Completing the MSBA In-Person?

While our online MSBA program provides a number of ways for instructors and students to communicate, the in-person program provides the opportunity to interact frequently with the instructor and fellow students in real time. In-person learning provides opportunities for socialization and network building. A classroom environment can help students focus on learning and presents the ability to receive immediate feedback.
