Be a leader in business
An MBA your way
At Canisius we offer an accelerated one-year MBA, a part-time or evening MBA, and an MBA in Professional Accounting. A business degree can build your résumé and enhance your career. The Richard J. Wehle School of Business is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International), a recognition less than 5% of the world’s business schools attain.
