GSBC, University of Sioux Falls Partner to Create MBA Pathway for Community Bankers

As the community banking landscape continues to evolve, GSBC remains focused on equipping community bankers with the tools, perspective and leadership skills needed to navigate change. A key part of that mission is building strategic partnerships that extend learning beyond the GSBC experience.

GSBC’s newest partnership is with the University of Sioux Falls (USF). Through this collaboration, GSBC graduates can apply their GSBC education toward nine credits of USF’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) program with a concentration in Banking, creating a seamless pathway to continue their professional and academic growth.

“We are excited to expand opportunities for our alumni through this partnership with the University of Sioux Falls,” said GSBC President Michael Stevens. “Creating additional pathways for advanced education allows our graduates to build on their GSBC experience and continue developing the leadership and strategic skills needed in today’s banking environment.”

This partnership reflects GSBC’s broader commitment to lifelong learning and continued professional development. By connecting its graduate program with advanced degree opportunities, GSBC helps ensure alumni can continue to deepen their expertise while staying responsive to the changing demands of the industry.

“The University of Sioux Falls is excited to partner with GSBC by offering this opportunity to their graduates,” said Dr. Brett Bradfield, president at the University of Sioux Falls. “This partnership reinforces our commitment to developing the next generation of business leaders. The high level of expertise of alumni from GSBC is a welcomed addition to our MBA classes.”

GSBC currently partners with six universities across the country to provide avenues for graduates seeking a master’s degree. By completing GSBC’s 25-month school session, graduates can apply their GSBC education toward a range of advanced degree programs.
