• Concentrations and Minors

    Every MBA student begins the program with a general business concentration. In each fall and spring term, 1-Year, 2-Year, and PMBA students have a designated time when the concentration, minor, and specialization selections can be changed. These MBA students complete one or more concentrations with the option of completing one or more minors or specializations to meet their academic goals. Concentrations, minors, and specializations will print on the students’ transcript record. Only the degree, MBA, appears on diplomas. A directed study course does not count toward a concentration, minor, or specialization requirement. For course descriptions, please review the Graduate Programs Course Catalog.
