Program of Study The MBA program provides a four-level course of study designed to be responsive to the student's prior academic training and career objectives. Level I Foundation Courses. Level I consists of four foundation courses (12 credits) in economics, accounting, mathematics, and statistics. Students with sufficient background may be exempted from some or all Level 1 courses. Level II Core Courses. Six advanced courses (18 credits) required of all students at Level II cover multimedia applications, human resources management, organizational behavior, managerial aspects of accounting, marketing, and financial management. Level III Concentration Electives. Level III provides a wide diversity of advanced electives from two distinct concentration areas: 1) Strategic Human Resource Management and 2) Strategic Management. Students must select three courses (9 credits) from one concentration area. Level IV Capstone Sequence. A two course (6 credit) capstone sequence at Level IV addresses the major strategic alternatives open to enterprises. This sequence requires completion of a team-based project/case study. Foundation Course Waiver Generally, the graduate foundation courses will be required of students entering the program. Decision to exempt a student from foundation level courses is made at the discretion of the Admissions Committee after examination of all appropriate documents, including official transcripts of prior course work.
