Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina

BELMONT — Belmont Abbey College has added three master’s degrees to its academic offerings: Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Leadership (MA in Leadership), and Master of Strategic Analysis.

These new graduate degrees, in addition to the existing Master of Health Administration (MHA) and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), are part of the college’s objective to prepare students to create a better world for themselves and their communities and equip them to lead without compromising their values, the college noted in a recent release. The new graduate degrees are designed to be completed within one year.

“As a Catholic academic institution, we believe in providing quality education with a moral foundation that will help solve societal problems. We are thrilled to offer degrees that are dedicated to producing the kinds of organizational leaders the world needs,” said the school’s provost, Dr. Travis Feezell.

In its release, the college noted the cross-disciplinary online MBA program aims to equip students in key business areas such as managerial finance, strategic marketing management, and corporate governance and law. The MA in Leadership program at Belmont Abbey prepares students to lead organizations ethically and effectively while demonstrating the concept of servant leadership. Guided by Benedictine values, this program encourages and inspires leaders and other business stakeholders to see challenges and opportunities, to judge them according to the ethical social principles illuminated for Christians by the Gospel, and to act as leaders who serve God in all things.

The MS in Strategic Analysis degree supports its students’ work within organizations in their journey to search for and live in response to truth – specifically, understanding and engineering the evaluation, management and improvement of decisions and outcomes.
