INTEGRATING BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY ON THE GRADUATE LEVEL A CAREER-DRIVING, GAME-CHANGING PATH FOR WORKING PROFESSIONALS
A
s digital technologies disrupt business models and blur product lines, it is more valuable than ever for professionals to possess a vast skill-set in order to effectively solve complex problems. Sacred Heart University’s Jack Welch College of Business & Technology (WCBT) is a pioneer in the integration of business and technology, recognizing that every facet of business is quickly changing in how we communicate and learn, create and consume and work and do business. The modern business world is all about synergy––and that is no more evident than in the emerging alignment of vital technology and business. From the sophisticated software needs of accounting to cybersecurity concerns to the precise analytics that can make or break a business model, today’s successful leaders know how to blend technological innovation and business acumen for excellence in productivity, efficiency and innovation.
INTRODUCING INNOVATION MANAGEMENT AT SACRED HEART The Welch College’s forward-thinking curriculum and cutting-edge teaching labs incorporate a rich range of experiential, cross- and multidisciplinary learning opportunities that seek to make business students technology-literate and engineering and computer science majors businessliterate at graduation. Aligning with the College’s goals is the newest MBA concentration––innovation management––focusing on developing students into sophisticated end-users in both business and technology, able to create solutions from concept to development to market launch. “This concentration is focused on the application of technology in business rather than teaching technology as a separate function,” said Anthony Macari, clinical assistant professor of management and MBA director at the WCBT. “As our economy continues to go through digital transformation, every aspect of marketing, supply chain, finance and accounting is impacted by the ability to seamlessly transform the customer experience on a daily basis through technology.” The courses will be taught by seasoned professionals with decades of business experience at some of the largest corporations in the world. These instructors are business executives who developed and managed major technological solutions to business problems and will be able to share their insights with students.

LEARN FROM LEADERS Ninety-five percent of WCBT full-time faculty––many of whom are successful industry leaders in their own right––have doctoral degrees. Collectively, they have worked a total 879 years in the corporate world. And the WCBT’s experienced professors not only share their knowledge but also mentor and prepare students to lead. They foster a mission-driven, inclusive community and a think-outside-the-box attitude to harness the benefits of technological convergence through new business models. The market for business school grads, especially those with MBAs or experience with data analytics, marketing, information technology and engineering management, is on the rise across the country. A solid academic program with an integrated core taught by professors with years of realworld business experience builds a multifaceted foundation.
INNOVATION BOLSTERED BY WORLD-CLASS FACILITIES When dynamic graduate courses take place in state-of-the-art experiential learning spaces, students have the opportunity to pursue their passions in real-time. The WCBT has undergone a top-to-bottom transformation since 2019, having moved to West Campus, the revamped former global headquarters of General Electric. The dynamic core curriculum infuses business courses with technology, and vice versa, and makes ample use of SHU’s world-class

facilities, including the iHub coworking space; prototyping, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity labs; a finance lab with Bloomberg terminals; a student incubator space. By housing both business and technology programs in one location, the WCBT has created an exciting innovation ecosystem that offers students myriad opportunities to work on their passions, collaborate with faculty on scholarly work and partner with business and tech leaders.
THE WCBT DIFFERENCE WCBT students acquire a “future-ready” entrepreneurial mindset grounded in ethical reasoning skills and informed by both modern global perspectives and centuriesold tradition. While not every WCBT student will become an entrepreneur, each will think like one–fully able to compre-
hend complex challenges, work in diverse teams and find socially sound solutions. WCBT offers a range of graduate and certificate programs, including a nationally ranked MBA and master’s degrees in accounting, business analytics, digital marketing, finance, human resource management and cybersecurity. The business world has been transformed by digital convergence in the past few years, and many schools are talking about adjusting their curricula and augmenting their facilities to meet the new challenges and opportunities. The WCBT difference? We are doing it.

SCSU BREAKS GROUND FOR NEW SCHOOL OF BUSINESS BUILDING, ANNOUNCES WITH PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS
Graduates can complete their MBA in as little as 18 months.
Southern’s new School of Business building is the first net-zero emissions building constructed by the State of Connecticut.
A NEW DESTINATION FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF BUSINESS LEADERS The world of business is changing quickly. Tomorrow’s business leaders will need to respond quickly to demographic and technological changes. Construction has begun on the next home for the School of Business, an environmentally sustainable structure that will provide a launching pad for expanding the school’s offerings and developing new partnerships with the business community. Southern’s new 60,000 square foot School of Business building reflects their needs — and our vision of what the future can be. Scheduled for completion in Spring 2023, this new building will be the first netzero emissions building constructed by the State of Connecticut. Net-zero emissions (NZE) buildings generate at least as much energy as they use. We’ll achieve that goal by using innovative technology. Plans include a new photovoltaic farm over an ex-
isting parking lot and geothermal heating and cooling wells on site. Key features include Consumer Behavior/Organizational Behavior Laboratory space, Sustainability/ Net Zero space, a FinTech and Data Analytics Lab, and business and community engagement conference and meeting space.
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS TO LAUNCH IMPROVED MBA/AMBA AND NEW MBA CERTIFICATES PROGRAMS The Southern MBA program has announced two exciting changes that will take place in the School of Business beginning fall 2021. Both changes reflect the cornerstones of the Southern MBA program: Relevance, Value, and Flexibility. The first change is the transition of the both the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Accelerated Master of Business Administration (AMBA) to 42-credit programs, with instructional modalities options in on-ground, hybrid, and online formats. The

previous credit requirement was 51. The changes reflect current developments in the MBA academic environment, integrating classroom and experiential learning within the coursework, according to Southern MBA Director, Dr. Adam Abugri. In addition, the MBA waiver policy could further reduce the required number of credits to as few as 30, depending upon specific required courses that the candidate may have completed as an undergraduate. Business has launched three brand-new MBA Certificate Programs. So far, certificates are offered in three subject areas in great demand among today’s — and tomorrow’s — employers: Business Analytics, Healthcare Administration, and Human Resource Management. The new certificate program provides a way to “ease in” to Southern’s MBA program for those who are not ready to commit to a graduate program leading to a master’s degree. “The new Certificate program provides
an excellent first step onto the MBA path,” according to Dr. Abugri. “Individuals who are not quite sure of their next move, either academically or career-wise, can maintain their momentum as they earn credits toward an eventual MBA, and, at the same time, acquire a formal certificate that demonstrates their expanded skill set to current or future employers,” he continued. Each program requires 12 credit hours to complete. Students who do not currently meet the admission requirements of the full MBA program can enroll in the certificate program now and later transfer their certificate credits to the full MBA program upon acceptance. A student could begin with the Business Analytics Certificate and roll those 12 credits into any of our MBA concentrations to finish with a very valuable and marketable C.V. All certificate programs require a bachelor’s degree for admission. For more information on Southern’s MBA or the certificate programs, visit southernct.edu/MBA.
