Experienced, career-focused faculty

Unlike programs at other schools, the Johnson & Wales MBA program features faculty that are dedicated to teaching and teaching-related scholarship, not research.  Many are still active members of the business community, allowing them to bring experience directly into the classroom.   Our online class sizes are small and are never taught by teaching assistants, giving students the opportunity to develop relationships and share learning experiences with faculty and peers.

Employer-informed curriculum

Johnson & Wales MBA curriculum is developed through a collaborative effort between leading employers and our industry-experienced instructors. Our faculty bring real-world projects and challenges into the classroom to turn theory into practice. This active-learning philosophy ensures that students are keeping up with the latest industry insights while learning the skills employers are looking for.

Your experience matters

Conditional acceptance to certain graduate business programs may be extended to domestic students who are at least 24 years of age, who have a 2.41 – 2.84 cumulative undergraduate grade point average, and who demonstrate significant evidence of professional success. Students granted conditional acceptance may take a maximum of two JWU graduate courses. If a grade of B or better is earned in each course, the student will be granted full admission to that program. Students who do not earn a B or better grade in each course will be dismissed from the program and unable to apply to any JWU graduate program.

Tradition in business carried forward

By offering relevant MBA programming in a convenient online format that is respected by regional and national employers, Johnson & Wales continues to build upon its roots since being founded as a business school in 1914.
