MBA Program and Curriculum Overview

 


 

The MBA program is a graduate-level, twelve-course, 36 credit hour program. It consists of seven common core courses and five advanced elective/Concentration courses. Six of the common core courses provide broad exposure to the functional areas of management. The seventh common core course, Strategic Management and Policy, is the Program's capstone course and is normally taken during the last term in the Program.

In their application for admission, students must specify whether they are interested in pursuing the Generalist MBA Program or a program with a Concentration in either International Finance or International Marketing.

Students admitted to pursue the Generalist MBA may take any five advanced electives. For these students, the MBA Thesis is optional and may be chosen (subject to the eligibility requirements and other applicable academic policies and procedures; see MBA Catalogue) as one of the five advanced electives.

Effective with Fall 2005 admissions, students admitted to pursue a Concentration in International Finance or International Marketing must (in addition to the seven core courses) complete three required courses plus one elective course and an MBA Thesis in their chosen concentration.
