MBA – BLUE

Join a flexible, accessible online MBA program taught by world-class instructors at one of the premier research institutions in the nation

Environmental changes are taking place throughout the Arctic and in Alaska’s oceans, coasts and inland waters that are affecting businesses and the global economy. To meet these challenges, there is a growing demand for leaders with the combined skills of business and science, particularly in fisheries, oceanography and climate science and policy.

This unique MBA, based at America’s Arctic University but offered entirely online, emphasizes developing business models to ensure the sustainable use of marine and freshwater resources.

Who Is the Online MBA BLUE Degree Designed For?

This MBA degree with a BLUE concentration is designed for students with a background or interest in fisheries, marine biology or oceanography or other related fields of study. It is a great fit for anyone interested in the intersection of business and aquatic resources. The program is unique to Alaska but also appeals broadly to the national and international business community with its focus on resource extraction industries. It’s also particularly beneficial to students who are interested in developing more sustainable use of Alaskan and Arctic natural resources and industries. In addition to the BLUE concentration, we also offer 7 additional concentration options within the MBA program.
