The Master of Business Creation (MBC) is a professional-degree program for serious entrepreneurs committed to growing their startup company. The program features innovative, application-focused curriculum and access to one-on-one mentoring, practical curriculum, and rich resources for entrepreneurs. The program is offered at the University of Utah’s David Eccles School of Business by the Department of Entrepreneurship & Strategy in partnership with the Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute. Together, they provide an entrepreneur program ranked among the top 10 in the nation.
The MBC degree has courses, workshops, and labs specifically designed for aspiring entrepreneurs building and scaling their business. The program is available in two formats – an in-person, full-time, two-semester option or an online, flexible, three-semester option. Founders in select global locations can enroll online from their home countries. In all enrollment options, founders work to grow their companies, take entrepreneurially focused classes, engage in practicum labs, and receive personalized support. Faculty and mentors in the program are leading scholars and experienced entrepreneurs who can provide detailed insight into all stages of the entrepreneurial process.
“[The MBC program is] similar to an MBA in that you’re learning a lot of general principles of business, but it’s more tailored to startups, and it’s such an amazing program because we’re able to work on our business.”
— Anna Connolly, co-founder of West of Breakfast, MBC graduate
“The MBC has helped me to take all the different aspects of a business to put it together to hopefully see a much higher success rate when it comes to actual implementation.”
— Adam Stewart, founder of Backyard Estates, MBC graduate
Master of Business Creation from the David Eccles School of Business.
All of the courses at the University, whether online or on campus, are taught by the same high-quality faculty members. There’s no distinction on your diploma that you completed courses online.
A viable startup is required to enroll in the MBC program, and classroom learning will be immediately applied to the founder’s startup.
The MBC In-Person and Online programs are designed to be as affordable as possible to support founders, so costs are minimized so they can put more resources into their companies. Full and partial scholarships are available for both program options. See costs below. Tuition costs exclude application fees, room and board, and incidental costs.
