MBA Core Courses – The core courses, built upon the foundation coursework, provide the MBA student with in-depth exposure to the interrelated functional disciplines of business. Advanced coursework in business such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing and Management also prepares students for courses in their specific concentration. At the same time, the approach in these courses reflects that business problems require integrated solutions, solid communication skills are necessary to conduct business, that teamwork is the way to get things done, and that every individual is a leader who is responsible and accountable for their performance. Each MBA student is required to satisfy eight courses in the MBA core area. These courses are intended to provide the student the depth and breadth of knowledge with the rigors of graduate- level study beyond the foundation.
