One of the few schools to offer 1-year M.S. Degrees in Marketing, or M.A. in International Business.

For those interested in a shorter alternative to the MBA, this might be a good school to look at.

Also a good school for those interested in Sports Management (Sports Administration concentration available) given the geographical location and number of professional and collegiate sports teams in the area:
