The UDallas Difference

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program combines business literacy, virtue-based ethics, liberal arts, and social science to create leaders who can navigate the complexities of modern business with integrity and purpose. Through a combination of a unique integrated approach to the common body of business knowledge, practical applications, and innovative electives, students gain a comprehensive understanding of the business environment while cultivating the ability to lead and drive change across diverse industries.

The MBA as delivered across the globe, is a generic commodity and the MBA marketplace is a “red ocean” of hyper-competition. All business schools offer an MBA degree that emphasizes the acquisition of “hard” or tactical skills designed to create business analysts instead of managers who can make informed ethical decisions. In addition, many business schools follow a formulaic curriculum, presenting a series of unconnected courses that fail to integrate essential concepts, with ethics often treated as a standalone checkbox. This disjointed approach places heavy emphasis on hard skills, largely ignoring the critical soft skills that employers demand, such as emotional intelligence, communication, and influence.

The UDallas College of Business takes a unique approach, blending both technical and soft or interpersonal skills throughout its programs. In addition to technical and soft skills, we focus on the intentional cultivation of character. Ethics is woven throughout the curriculum, with each course explicitly addressing its ethical dimensions. 

The UDallas College of Business utilizes a unique integrated approach to the common body of business knowledge with an emphasis on experiential learning. Rather than teaching subjects like accounting, marketing, operations, and management in isolation, an integrated approach weaves these topics together to address complex, cross-functional business problems. This approach also includes a focus on soft skills such as leadership, ethical decision-making, communication, and teamwork. By blending technical expertise with interpersonal skills, students gain a more holistic understanding of business. This method prepares them to think strategically, make ethical decisions, and adapt quickly in dynamic environments—qualities highly valued by employers seeking well-rounded professionals capable of leading in diverse and interconnected roles. We call this distinct graduate education the UDallas Difference.
