Master of Business Administration

ACU's MBA sits inside the Peter Faber Business School, which carries AACSB accreditation (held by roughly six per cent of business schools worldwide), and that accreditation now covers all of ACU's business courses. At 120 credit points, the structure is fairly standard for an MBA: a run of core units covering the major business functions (BUSN609 Business Communication, BUSN612 Managing Market Environments, MGMT641 Organisational Dynamics and Behaviour, ACCT600 Accounting for Decision Making) followed by four open electives students can pull from any discipline.

What differentiates it on paper is that every unit is explicitly mapped to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and Microsoft certification is embedded into the coursework, so students walk away with credentialing beyond the degree itself, which matters for graduates going into roles where a vendor certification is a genuine hiring signal (data, cloud, analytics-adjacent management roles).

The four open electives are the real point of difference between one student's MBA and another's: someone heading into healthcare management, IT leadership or entrepreneurship can shape the back half of the degree quite differently while sharing the same core.
