Master of Business Administration—
Strategic Leadership
WGU's online MBA in Strategic Leadership is specifically designed for graduates of the Air Force's Air War College Residence Program or Non-Residence Program (NRP). You will develop sophisticated skills and knowledge across multiple business disciplines coupled with the leadership training you obtained through the Air War College. The program prepares you for a mid-level to upper-level management position in business, industry, and non-profit organizations. (The program is not open to the general public.)

Best Buy MBA As an Air War College graduate, you will automatically clear three of the domains of knowledge: Strategy, Doctrine and Leadership; International Security Studies; and Warfighting. The remaining subject area, Graduate-Level Business Core, covers all the essential functional business expertise you will need to become a sought-after business executive.

WGU's challenging online MBA program is for Air Force officers who already possess "real world" leadership experience and seek broader business skills. The program is flexible in two important ways. Individuals with existing competencies can use knowledge they already possess to accelerate the time to completion. Plus, the online, mentored approach allows you to incorporate a rigorous MBA program into your already busy schedule.

Upon completion of the program, you will be eligible for your Certified MBA ® (CMBA) designation—a nationally recognized acknowledgement of business knowledge competence.
