    The Program
    The MAM is deliberately focused on students who plans to progress within a medium or large sized organization. It also focuses on students who are just moving into a substantial management position, or are currently in one, and need to know more about "the business of business" than just the narrow perspective of their prior experience. Therefore, the classes have been created to bring students the essential elements of each function of business. When the students have completed the program, they will understand how the functions of Management, or Marketing, or Accounting impact their role as a manager in a company. The graduates should understand, from the perspective of their expertise, how to interact with the rest of the organization to achieve success for the organization as a whole. The Dean of the College of Business is responsible for the overall academic coordination of each program.

    The MAM programs are offered both online and in the classroom. Programs are offered at three locations: Bellevue University main campus, 1000 Galvin Road South; the Lozier Professional Center, 2810 North 118th Circle; and the Southwest Omaha Center, 16820 Frances Street.
