Master of Business Administration Program

The Lake Erie College Parker MBA program is among the fastest-growing and most highly-regarded programs in the State of Ohio. In addition to our traditional MBA program, we also offer customized on-site programs selected by some of Ohio’s largest employers, including industry leaders in manufacturing, health care and energy.

Our rolling admission allows you to begin your MBA at the beginning of any semester: August (fall), January (spring) or May (summer).

The partnership between Lake Erie College and LCCC allows students to obtain their MBA their way.  In addition to our classroom-based face-to-face sessions on the LCCC campus, we also offer the complete Parker MBA program 100 percent online.  Students may also follow a hybrid format by mixing online and traditional classroom courses to allow even greater scheduling flexibility.
