Millikin University offers two graduate degrees on its Decatur campus:
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)-there are four different tracks within the MSN.
Master of Business Administration
An outcome-oriented program for the highly motivated professional
Millikin University's Master of Business Administration degree is designed as a unified curriculum rather than a collection of courses.
This focused style of program is designed to prepare men and women for positions of leadership in today's complex business world. The curriculum is intentional with the objective of developing a business leader with broad generalist skills, a person who can analyze a business situation from different perspectives and then exercise the judgment required to create a solution.
Certainly the Millikin MBA graduate is schooled in finance, in marketing, in operations-in the traditional functional areas of business. But the answers to business dilemmas rarely lie in only one discipline. The successful solutions lie in the intersection of the disciplines or functions within business. Millikin teaches how to see those intersections, how to frame quantitative and qualitative questions, and how to articulate comprehensive answers to complex problems.
Master of Science in Nursing
The School of Nursing offers graduate courses leading to the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree for those nurses who want to advance their careers beyond the baccalaureate level.
