Anderson University today announced the addition of five new MBA concentrations in partnership with Rize Education. Starting Fall 2025, ambitious students and professionals can accelerate their careers through specialized tracks in Artificial Intelligence, Healthcare Administration, Finance, Cybersecurity and Business Analytics. These programs are designed to meet the evolving demands of today’s business environment and equip students with the skills necessary for success in high-growth sectors.
The new MBA concentrations at Anderson University are structured to be integrated into one-year MBA programs and consist of three courses that can be taken in any order, offering maximum flexibility for students. Rize courses will be delivered in an 8-week, online, asynchronous format, ensuring accessibility for working professionals and full-time students alike.
New MBA concentrations include:
Artificial Intelligence: Learn how to implement AI strategically in business operations. Students develop skills to lead AI projects and help organizations adopt new technologies effectively.
Healthcare Administration: Gain expertise in managing healthcare operations, understanding policy changes, and leading teams in hospitals, clinics, and health systems. Perfect preparation for leadership roles in one of America’s largest industries.
Finance: Build advanced skills in financial planning, risk assessment, and investment analysis. Graduates are prepared for senior finance roles, from corporate finance to investment banking and financial technology companies.
Cybersecurity: Develop expertise in protecting organizations from cyber threats. Students learn to assess security risks, respond to incidents, and build strong defense systems – skills desperately needed as cyber attacks increase.
Business Analytics: Learn to turn company data into useful insights that drive business decisions. Students master analytics tools and learn to present findings in ways that influence executive strategy.
“At Anderson University, our goal is to create an MBA experience where students thrive both personally and professionally. That begins with fostering psychologically safe learning environments—spaces where collaboration, innovation and leadership can flourish without fear,” said Anderson University Professor of Management Dr. Jeffrey Moore. “The job market has changed dramatically in the past five years, and companies are now hiring for roles that didn’t even exist when we designed our original MBA program. By expanding our MBA offerings, we’re helping students develop the expertise they need to thrive in today’s competitive job market. On the technical side, our new MBA concentrations ensure that students don’t just learn theory but actively use cutting-edge AI tools to augment traditional business frameworks and solve real-world challenges. By combining human-centered leadership with advanced technical training, we’re preparing graduates to excel in today’s dynamic business landscape.”
