About MBA Candidate Research

Eastern Illinois University's School of Business has a rich tradition of preparing students for PhD or other graduate-level work.  However, many MBA candidates have the opportunity to conduct research while at EIU's MBA program to enhance their professional expertise in a field or to develop research and analytical skills to apply to their career field.  Our Graduate Faculty regularly serve as mentors to Research Option students working their year-long research project, collecting data and writing papers with MBA candidates that serve as Graduate Assistants, mentoring student research projects in MBA classes, and continuing these relationships after MBA students have recently graduated.  Below, a list of recent conference papers and publications from our MBA candidates and co-authored with faculty mentors.
