Academics

A more flexible Broad MBA curriculum, allows first-year students to choose detailed courses in their concentration areas, just in time to apply their new knowledge to summer internships.

Each Broad MBA must complete the core academic requirements and choose an area of concentration. The balance of courses is electives that can form secondary or sub-concentrations, or be used to survey a wide variety of business offerings.

The MBA Program has four concentration areas from which students choose to study.

Finance
Human Resource Management
Marketing
Supply Chain Management

These concentrations are

  • built on the strengths of our nationally recognized faculty, whose interests and research are reflected in classroom material
  • supported by the development of specialized practice labs
  • enhanced through student exposure in the "field," including study abroad trips, case competitions and corporate exposure
  • integrated with student-run extra-curricular groups and events

To ensure adequate exposure to international business issues, students are required to have either a class that focuses primarily on international business or take part in a study abroad program.

Throughout the curriculum, small, personal classes combining lectures, case studies, team-based education and first-hand experience encourage students to think strategically across functional boundaries.
