Education

Students choose IUN for its affordability, small class sizes, and dedicated professors. Undergraduate students can earn a Bachelor of Arts in Economics or a Bachelor of Science in Business. BSB students can complement their degree with a concentration in Business Administration or Accounting and Financial Information Systems. Minors for Business Administration students include Marketing, Human Resource Management, or Business Economics.

Graduate students can either pursue the Weekend MBA for Professionals or the Weeknight Hybrid MBA. The Weekend MBA meets every other Saturday, and the Weeknight program meets one weeknight every other week. Both degrees can be completed in just 18 months. Students will be supported through executive coaching and will evaluate their leadership skills through the 16 positive dimensions of personality. The highly desirable Lean Six Sigma Certification is also incorporated into the curriculum. Tuition is also very affordable, with the Weeknight Hybrid costing under $20,000 and the Weekend MBA under $40,000. The Weekend MBA inclusive tuition rate includes tuition, books, a tablet, and a culminating international trip to Thailand. The Thailand experience is a week-long trip during spring break, featuring company tours, and allows students to experience the culture, history, and food.

A 15-credit hour graduate certificate is also offered in Management, as well as a Postbaccalaureate Certificate in Accounting. These certificates can be earned in just a few months, and provide the boost on your resume to land a promotion or pay raise.
