Graduate Studies At a Glance
Master of Business Administration
If what you learn in the classroom doesn't apply to the boardroom, an MBA degree won't take you very far. At Lebanon Valley College, our Master of Business Administration Program is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills that pay off in the real world. In our small, seminar-style classes, you'll learn directly from professors and professionals with years of successful experience in small business, corporate America, and international trade. And you can begin applying what you learn almost immediately. Our graduates have been employed by such companies as Dun & Bradstreet, Hershey Foods Corporation, Kellogg, and Pfizer.
Our MBA program shares the rich, interdisciplinary character that has distinguished Lebanon Valley College for over a century. The program uniquely combines liberal arts coursework with career preparation through team building projects, mock negotiations, the use of real businesses as labs, and the development of business plans for new business start-ups. We strive to balance theory and practice, consistently challenging our students to communicate effectively, act ethically, analyze information, and make informed decisions. Our students frequently comment that they are learning practical information that they can apply to their daily business lives.
Master of Music Education
If you're a practitioner of K–12 vocal or instrumental music, LVC offers a dynamic graduate program designed to help you develop professionally, advance your skill set, and increase your marketability. The Master of Music Education Program equips you with ideas and technologies that you can immediately apply with your students in your music classroom. Courses meet during a 7-week summer semester. This complements your work schedule and gives you the opportunity to think about and reflect on your work in a way you couldn't during the school year. LVC faculty have extensive music education expertise. What's more, each summer a nationally known professional in the field of music education comes to campus as a visiting faculty member. The structure of our program provides an exceptional opportunity to learn from your peers—music teachers like you—with real classroom challenges and solutions.
Master of Science Education
The Master of Science Education (MSE) Program at LVC produces leaders for schools, the state, and the nation. Graduates include two Presidential Science Award-winning teachers, the holder of multiple patents for scientific equipment, and recognized innovators in the teaching of science. Our growing program employs a collaborative learning approach with classes designed to apply to any age range, from K–12. High school teachers work alongside middle school and elementary teachers, with each benefitting from the experience and insight of their colleagues. This learning environment helps MSE students to prepare their own students for success in state and national science assessments. At LVC, you can emphasize biology, chemistry, physics, or earth science. Within guidelines for state and federal requirements, the MSE program's flexible structure allows you to self-design a course of study based on your individual interests. LVC's science and instructional facilities are state-of-the-art. Technology, writing, and research are delivered across the curriculum. As a student working with these methods, you become better able to deliver innovation as a science teacher.
