challenges your notions of what’s possible.
Think Critically and Creatively
Innovative ideas come from critical and creative thinkers. In this world of business
uncertainty, you can no longer look to the past to prepare for the future. While enrolled
in McKendree’s MBA program you will experience rigorous courses that will help sharpen
your management instincts, help you design and prototype solutions, to help you bring

Lead from the Front
McKendree’s MBA program will help develop you into that next generation leader. One
who is:
Competent—Leaders must channel their energies towards those arenas of leadership in which they
are most likely to excel.
Courageous—The leader of an organization is not always the smartest or most creative, or the first to identify a problem. The leader is the one who has the courage to act, to move forward.
Clear—Uncertain times requires clear directives from those in leadership. A next generation leader must learn to be clear even when he or she is not certain.
Full of Character and Integrity—You can lead without character or integrity, but you won’t be a leader worth following. Character provides you with the moral authority necessary to bring together the people and resources needed to further the organization. While integrity means doing what you say you are going to do even when there is no one watching.
Define Your Future
You have the power to change the future, including yours. The biggest challenges require
great minds across disciplines to unite in developing innovative solutions.
We believe that you can help change lives and organizations. During your time at McKendree,
you will gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to act courageously and inspire
action.
