Online Learning The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a 12-unit course
The MBA provides graduates with up-to-date management knowledge and skills as well as the opportunity to apply their understandings in professional practice.
Explore contemporary literature in management, including biblically based literature, for best practice and strategic management in organisations.
The MBA is particularly suited to individuals who have risen to positions in organisations, including not-for-profit organisations such as churches, parachurch organisations and charities, without formal qualifications in business management. The MBA will help these individuals to integrate a value-based leadership approach to business. Graduates will have greater confidence to innovate within their organisation or even start a business and produce results in an effective, ethical and sustainable manner.
Students commence the MBA by enrolling in the Graduate Certificate in Management. Upon successful completion of the Graduate Certificate, students may articulate into the Graduate Diploma in Management, and then into the MBA. Students may choose to exit having completed either the Graduate Certificate in Management or the Graduate Diploma in Management, subject to the completion of course requirements.
CHC offers multiple entry points into the MBA program.
