Introducing the MBA Professional Edge: A Flexible Path to a Concordia Texas MBA

Concordia University Texas is proud to announce the launch of the MBA Professional Edge, a new hybrid-format Master of Business Administration program designed specifically for working adults. This flexible and career-forward model allows professionals to earn a respected MBA while balancing full-time work, family, and life responsibilities.

Most of the coursework in the MBA Professional Edge takes place online, with one immersive residency weekend per semester on Concordia’s scenic Austin campus. Known as The Edge Experience, this residency brings students together for collaborative workshops, real-world problem solving, networking with faculty and peers, and leadership development activities.

“This model is a direct response to what working professionals have told us they need: a high-quality, faith-informed MBA that doesn't require them to choose between their job and their education,” said Dr. Alex Herron, Associate Vice President & Dean of Curriculum and Learning Design at Concordia University Texas. “We’ve designed the MBA Professional Edge to deliver a high-impact academic experience in a format that supports success from day one.”

What Makes the MBA Professional Edge Unique?

• Hybrid Format: Learn online with one required in-person weekend per semester
• Designed for Working Adults: Earn your degree without disrupting your career
• Ethical, Faith-Informed Leadership: A curriculum grounded in values and service
• Immersive Residencies: The Edge Experience brings your learning to life

The program can be completed in five semesters (20 months), and no GRE or GMAT is required. The curriculum includes core business disciplines such as strategic management, marketing, organizational leadership, and critical thinking, all delivered by experienced faculty who bring real-world insights into the classroom.

Students can take advantage of free on-campus lodging during the residency weekend or receive discounted rates at partner hotels. With competitive tuition and multiple start dates throughout the year, the Concordia Texas MBA Professional Edge makes graduate education more accessible and achievable than ever before.
