If required these courses should be among the first ones completed in the program. Determination of needed prerequisite knowledge will be based on a review of each student's unique combination of undergraduate coursework and any relevant work experience.
Core courses develop a solid understanding of the role of the professional manager within organizations and the responsibilities held within the firm and society in our global economy.
Program's concentrations allow students to develop a professional focus, or a specialization that is most relevant to their career goals. Students can select a set of courses, or a concentration that addresses each student's individual career needs. Courses can be selected from any of the scheduled elective graduate business courses (500-level ECBU listing, other than foundation courses, or from courses in other disciplines) with the approval of the student's academic advisor. One core course may be used as part of the concentration requirement.
