The Master of Business Administration degree program is designed to prepare students for management positions in business, government, industry, and nonprofit institutions and to provide continuing educational opportunities for those persons already so employed in the Pee Dee Region of South Carolina. All required courses are offered during the evening hours.

In 1998, the School of Business received approval from the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education to offer the Master of Business Administration degree with Concentration in Health Management. This program has the same admissions requirements as the regular Master of Business Administration program and requires 36 hours of graduate level courses. The 18 hours required in business subjects are taught by graduate faculty of the FMU School of Business. The 15 hours of health management courses are taught by the graduate faculty of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) over a state-of-the-art distance learning network. The remaining three hours are electives and can be taken from other FMU courses or from other MUSC courses. Graduates of this program receive the M.B.A. degree from FMU along with the Certificate in Health Management from MUSC. The Master of Business Administration degree with Concentration in Health Management program is designed both for individuals who currently work in the health care field and for those who would like the background enabling them to enter the field.
