Belmont Abbey College Expands MBA Program with New Concentrations
Belmont, N.C. (June 30, 2025) – Belmont Abbey College is pleased to announce the expansion of its Master of Business Administration (MBA) program with the addition of five new concentrations, which include Artificial Intelligence, Business Analytics, Cybersecurity, Finance, and Healthcare Administration.
Belmont Abbey College’s MBA program delivers a comprehensive, ethics-rooted business education that prepares students to succeed in today’s competitive job market. With the addition of these new concentrations, students can develop expertise in high-demand fields within the evolving digital landscape, further enhancing their career prospects.
“Expanding our curriculum to include these cutting-edge areas of study is critical and we are excited to offer these new concentrations as part of our MBA program,” said Dr. Brad Frazier, Vice Provost and Dean of Graduate and Professional Studies at Belmont Abbey College. “These additions will not only enhance our curriculum but also provide our students with the opportunity to specialize in areas that are critical to today’s business landscape.”
Students who choose the Artificial Intelligence (AI) concentration will gain a deep understanding of AI principles and applications. Through hands-on learning, they’ll explore how to harness AI to drive innovation and enhance business operations across sectors like technology, healthcare, and finance.
With the Business Analytics track, students develop the expertise to analyze large and complex data sets, uncover insights, and make data-driven decisions. This skillset is invaluable to organizations seeking to solve strategic challenges and improve performance.
Pursuing the Cybersecurity concentration will allow students to gain the tools to defend organizations against cyber threats and implement risk-mitigation strategies. As cyberattacks become more frequent and sophisticated, the demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals continues to rise.
The Finance concentration builds a solid foundation in areas such as financial management, investment analysis, and risk evaluation. This prepares graduates for impactful roles in corporate finance, investment banking, and consulting.
Finally, the Healthcare Administration concentration helps students examine the complexities of healthcare systems, policies, and management. This program prepares them to lead and innovate in healthcare organizations facing evolving challenges and opportunities.
In partnership with Rize Education, Belmont Abbey College will provide these expanded MBA concentrations, made possible through Rize’s support in staffing professors for courses not currently offered at the College. This collaboration underscores the College’s commitment to delivering high-quality education and relevant coursework that aligns with industry trends.
