Advance your career and increase your income potential when you earn an MBA from the elite Cameron School of Business (CSB) at the University of St. Thomas-Houston – accredited by the AASCB, the most respected accrediting body in business education globally. CSB prepares graduate business students for a career in a rapidly changing world. Students may choose from eight MBA concentrations, including accounting, economics, finance, ethics, international business, marketing, free enterprise and entrepreneurship, and management information systems.
Engage in capitalism with a conscience
In the MBA program, students learn how to engage in capitalism with a conscience by weighing the ethical implications of their decisions. Students are empowered with knowledge, integrity, and skills to serve society with conviction and become a leader in their field. This MBA experience is an interactive and discussion-based approach to business education. CSB professors focus on the moral and ethical questions faced in today’s marketplace.
Focus on the virtues: Courage, wisdom, prudence, intuition, tenacity and resilience
"At the Cameron School of Business, we are countercultural and focus on the virtues – courage, wisdom, prudence, intuition, tenacity, and resilience as beacons of light. Cameron is the torch of courage and wisdom,” Mario Enzler, Ph.D., dean of the Cameron School of Business, said. “We do not educate to create more efficient workers or satisfied consumers but freer, better, magnanimous leaders and authentic, faithful thinkers.”
In addition to Enzler, guiding the Cameron School of Business are 25 notable members of its Board of Visitors, including Chuck Piola, former CEO, NCO Financial System; J.T. Townsend, COO, Windjammer Capital; Mick Farrell, CEO, ResMed; and Matt Birk, NFL commissioner of Sports.
Find leading-edge professors
Week after week, CSB students learn from leading-edge Cameron faculty members like Joe Ueng, Ph.D. (pictured above).
Recently, CSB faculty member, Daniel Perez Liston, Ph.D., made appearances on both Univision and Telemundo, the two premier Spanish-language Houston television stations, to explain complex economic issues. With his academic knowledge, friendly demeanor and impeccable language skills, Perez has become one of the most engaging economists for Spanish-language media organizations. He has provided expert commentary on economic stimulus, inflation and, most recently, the financial repercussions of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. When it comes to economic news that you can use, Perez has become an invaluable resource helping viewers and students understand vital topics.
Do you have a grasp of blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies and the future? Finance has always been at the forefront of adopting new technologies, then innovating products and services through them. CSB’s associate professor of finance, Sidika Gulfem Bayram, Ph.D., de-mystifies cryptocurrencies as her students learn about new technologies and their impacts.
When you take her classes or read her Cameron blog on the subject, you learn there are two types of blockchains and which one created cryptocurrencies. She shares why these digital assets are not bulletproof, why some countries have outlawed them, and how misuse led to a major cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline.
“Turning new technologies into innovations is a process, and I believe that applying blockchain technology into the currency framework has great potential but requires more time and experience,” said Bayram.
As technologies continue to evolve, Bayram will stay on top of them and discern which ones will fulfill the demands of the future global financial system.
