Learning outcomes
The Helzberg Stackable MBA adds value to your education by letting you build and customize a degree that fits your future. Certificates on their own hold value in the workforce by helping you meet your career goals sooner. By stacking two earned certificates with the foundational Business Administration Certificate, you will work toward a full MBA degree.
Our faculty has developed the foundational curriculum of one of the best MBA programs in Kansas City into a stand-alone certificate – the Business Administration certificate. Along with two additional specialized certificates, this makes up the Helzberg MBA. Students earn a custom MBA with specializations in areas you select, based on the direction you want your career to go.
In other words, flexibility has been built into every facet of the Helzberg Stackable MBA: Program Details
