MBA Courses

The curriculum provides a strong grounding in managerial fundamentals while highlighting the strategic role that technology management plays in enhancing business performance and creating sustainable competitive advantage. In addition, it includes a non-pay community service (Practicum) course in the spring semester in which students use training in service and process innovation to help solve local community problems. Individual faculty supervise teams of students who work with local agencies and small business start-ups. Projects come from faculty in conjunction with local organizations, agencies and businesses.

The MBA includes 11 required Core Courses (33 credits) and four Electives (12 credits) for a total of 45 credits. Students who would like more depth in a concentration have the option to stay for a fourth semester (60 credits).
