Thank you for taking time to familiarize yourself with the Master of Arts in Organizational Management degree program at Antioch University; a.k.a. “Your MBA Alternative”.

If you aspire to work more effectively both with and through other people in ways that will distinguish you from your peers, and if you’re ready to pursue graduate-level study that focuses on optimizing human performance—both yours and that of others—this is the program for you.

Leading to a Master of Arts degree (M.A.) instead of a Masters in Business Administration (MBA), your educational program will help you to develop the leadership competencies, management practices, communication skills, personal insights, and emotional intelligence you’ll need to succeed. At the same time, you’ll gain the foundational business acumen no professional should be without.

As you navigate these web pages, you’ll discover a graduate degree program that is focused on serving experienced, successful adults in a collaborative, supportive, and non-competitive environment.

Please read what our students and alumni say about their experiences, review the course descriptions that define our curriculum, and explore the backgrounds of our faculty; they are experienced practitioner-scholars who have a gift for helping you to learn both what to do, and how to get it done—in the real world—in the midst of chaos, complexity, and never-ending change.

In closing, I invite you to visit one of our classes. But please be forewarned: Those who have come to visit have very often decided to stay. I invite you to discover why.

Bob Lazzarini, M.B.A. Chair, MA in Organizational Management
