x Curriculum | Facilities | Admission | Faculty | Student Services | Contact The MBA curriculum is designed to expose students to broader perspectives needed to manage change effectively in a globally interdependent, diverse world and enhance the student's interpersonal, communication (both oral and written), and analytical skills necessary for managers to work effectively in teams recognizing the ethical implications of their actions. There are three components in the MBA curriculum: GRADUATE CORE (21 Credit Hours)   The graduate or professional core consists of advanced business courses that substantially extend and apply knowledge gained at the undergraduate level. Students with a non-business undergraduate background may enroll in graduate or professional core courses after satisfying the foundation courses. ELECTIVES (15 Credit Hours)   Although the program is designed as a general MBA Program, students may decide to gain a focus on a particular academic area by selecting several electives from one particular area of interest. BUSINESS FOUNDATION (24 Credit Hours)   These foundation courses are designed for students from non-business undergraduate backgrounds. All or part of the foundation courses may be satisfied through advanced standing given in view of a student's prior equivalent course work at the undergraduate or graduate level.
