A questionnaire survey along with document analysis method was employed to collect the data from 80% final semester students (taken systematically) and 80% graduates from two alumni batches and their immediate bosses as employers (taken conveniently) both for business teaching and business management domains. The feedback of National Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (NACTE) and Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC) of University of the Punjab on the evaluation of MBE program serves as quality control bodies’ opinion. Both descriptive and inferential statistics are employed to calculate and compare the effectiveness level of MBE program as perceived by respondents. The overall effectiveness level of the program stood at 82.2% as rated by final semester students, 86.4% as rated by alumni, 90.6% as rated by employers in business management field and 90.4% as rated by employers in business teaching field. Launching of ‘human resource management’ as the third area of specialization in MBE and a 4-year Bachelor of Business Education (BBE) honours degree program, and to convert the existing 2-year MBE program to 1.5-year MBE/3-year MBE in line with MBA, M-Com, and MBIT programs of the University of the Punjab is recommended to help graduates ofthe department acquire a compatibility with the referred programs.  \nKeywords: Master of business education, program, effectiveness, assessment  \n* Associate Professor, Department of Business Education, IER, University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan. Email: [shaukat.ier@pu.edu.pk](shaukat.ier@pu.edu.pk)  \nIntroduction  \nMaster of Business Education (MBE) is the program offered by the Department of Business Education. This department was established with the collaboration of Indiana University of USA at the Institute of Education and Research (IER), University of the Punjab, Lahore in 1962. The program pursues two basic objectives of preparing teachers for business schools and managers for business enterprises. The current scheme of studies was introduced in the year 2000 in both morning and self-support classes with a class strength of 40 each which has been raised to 50 from the year 2013.  \nLiterature on higher education, such as Alon and Fleet (2009), Johnson (2000), Eastman, Allen and Superville (2001), Khandaker (2012), Hurst, Lam, and Khare (2013), Martin, Green, and Heppard (2013), and Raza (2014), report societies undergoing drastic socio-economic changes and consequent upon that institutions of higher education are experiencing a great deal of pressure for improvement of their programs to meet the demands of job markets for the satisfaction of stakeholders.  \nThis demand could only be met with the continuous improvement of quality of programs universities are offering (Raza & Naqvi, 2011; Raza & Khawaja, 2013; Raza, 2014) . Whether or not the Master of Business Education (MBE) program of Department of Business Education, Institute of Education and Research (IER), University of the Punjab, is fulfilling this demand? This management question needs to be answered to assess its current level of effectiveness and suggest improvements. Therefore, the current study was designed to assess the effectiveness of this program in terms of its focus on business teaching and business management competencies of graduates.  \nReview of the Literature  \nEffectiveness of an education program is based on continuous reconstruction through a 360 degree feedback of the stakeholders (Johnson, 2000; Blaylock, Zarankin, & Henderson, 2016; Smith, & Humberstone, 2018). This feedback helps administrators to assess need for improvement (Raza & Khawaja, 2013).
