3. M.B.A. Course Guidelines

New courses are proposed as the business environment changes. The program is willing to consider offering other special electives for employers with special interests. The program is currently exploring additional ways to bring international experience to M.B.A. students.

Although the basic degree requirements exist as distinct courses, the M.B.A. program embraces the integration of courses into a coherent whole consistent with our mission of educating the head, heart, and hands. The faculty identify and develop cases that can be used in multiple courses to allow students to recognize the interrelationships between business disciplines. The majority of M.B.A. classes also require students to apply business theories to practical settings of their own employment organizations. The M.B.A. program is designed to allow students to examine the same organizational settings from different perspectives as they move through the program, encouraging the discovery of connections between settings that advances the development of additional cross-functional links and discussions among other students and faculty.
