HPU is an AACSB-certified MBA program that allows you the flexibility for online learning. HPU offers a general MBA, but you can also choose from a list of seven concentrations:
Organizational Change and Development
this concentration looks at areas such as innovation, organizational structures, and leadership to create a concentration that will form the foundation for your work as a consultant or an outside-the-box manager in your current firm.
Marketing
you’ll expand your knowledge of market research, advertising management, and international marketing, among other areas. This concentration includes the option for paid and unpaid internships.
Management
with a focus on international business management, you’ll be poised to lead. This focus area is especially worthwhile if you wish to expand on your business dealings in Japan.
International Business
Hawaii is geographically poised to be a huge center for global business. This focus area provides a redux of every major MBA topic through the lens of international commerce.
Information Systems
from project management to systems architecture and everything in between, this specialization will make you a vital part of any firm’s growth and development.
Human Resource Management
sustainable human systems, compensation, and OSHA concerns are just the tip of the iceberg in this specialty. After all, every firm relies on its people to make a profit, so your expertise will be invaluable.
Finance
international finance, derivatives trading, and estate planning comprise a wide spectrum. With this specialty you could end up managing your firm’s investment portfolio or working on your own as a financial planner for Hawaii’s savvy investors. If your firm is considering broadening its scope with mergers or acquisitions, this is an important specialization for you. Be careful, though: your bonus check might be too large!
Though Hawaii has a limited landmass, it has two top-notch online MBA programs to choose between. Make sure you do thorough research and arrange a visit to the campuses, if possible. Since both are in Honolulu, you can possibly visit both on the same day. Nonetheless, with an online MBA, you’ll be poised to lead Hawaii through the 21st century. Aloha!
