Maine Business School

MBA At A Glance…

The Maine Business School offers a single Masters in Business Administration program, which consists of 30 credits. In a 10-course format, the UMaine MBA program is able to be completed in a reasonable amount of time.

Our MBA program is referred to as “the Essential MBA” because it is designed to provide students with essential business knowledge in accounting, finance, marketing, and management, as well as to advance skills in leadership, critical thinking and analysis, and global engagement.

On-campus students can also choose the Accounting MBA, which also consists of 30 credits. This is an accounting concentration most appropriate for students with an undergraduate accounting degree, although others can pursue the Accounting MBA after completing the required prerequisites.

Where is it offered?

The MBA program is offered in Orono as a blended format consisting of live and online courses. A fully online/distance format option is also available.

How do I know it is a quality program?

The Maine Business School was ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of the top 200 Business Schools in the nation. In addition, the UMaine MBA program is fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), a standard of excellence achieved by fewer than 6% of business schools worldwide.

Our faculty are all active researchers and consultants in their fields, and several have won awards for their teaching in addition to their research.

When can I start?

Students looking to enroll in the UMaine MBA program may start in the fall, spring, or summer semesters. We have rolling admissions, which means that we make admission decisions soon after an application is successfully submitted.
