MBA + Business English
The Fontbonne Advantage. Accelerate Your Success.
MBA students have unique needs and goals. That's why we created our unique cohort-style, MBA program designed to meet these needs, where world-class business professors and talented students come together in an intensive MBA program offered in one or two year formats. Our program provides students with a focused management core structure taught through business theory, practice and perspective. The core MBA serves as a required foundation for all graduate students pursuing an area of concentration.
MBA + Business English. Our Approach.
We recognize that language barriers shouldn't prohibit academically qualified students from earning a MBA in the United States. That's why our core program includes eight weeks of intensive business English focused on sharpening communication and presentation skills for classroom and workplace success, along with ESL courses and support (as needed) throughout the core MBA program.
MBA + Business English Curriculum. Focused. Global. Intensive.
Our 36-credit hour curriculum is focused on bringing together faculty and students in a challenging, fast-paced academic environment where business discussions thrive and leaders are developed. The comprehensive curriculum develops your critical thinking, analysis, communication, leadership and management skills.
