Tailor your MBA

Customize your curriculum with a set of electives that support your unique goals, while earning an enhanced accreditation as a signal of that expertise. While it requires an additional term of study and an additional fee, pursuing a concentration or certificate expands your toolset in a chosen function or industry.

Concentrations

You have the opportunity to earn one of five concentrations. Each concentration requires two courses from an approved list during your Elective Terms, as well as an independent elective project.

Energy and Environment

Learn to understand the dynamics of the new energy economy, to balance corporate sustainability considerations with business objectives, to manage risk and innovation, and to act on energy and environmental challenges in innovative ways. This concentration allows you to develop subject matter expertise in the ways that energy and environmental issues will affect businesses in the future and strategies for managing risk and innovation in this context.

Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Gain the skills necessary to successfully navigate an entrepreneurial career path. For example, learn to identify and assess potential opportunities and environments, acquire and protect the key resources that are necessary to pursue these opportunities, and develop strategies to generate market interest. On the managerial side, learn to lead organizational operations, handle necessary transitions, and foster growth.

Finance

Making significant investment and financing decisions for either individuals or firms requires more than just understanding valuation, investments, and financial derivatives. The Finance concentration gives you the opportunity to build on your foundational knowledge to steer your career in the path most attractive to you.

Marketing

Your marketing career, whether in consumer goods, services, high-technology, business-to-business, health care, or consulting will require your stewardship of the customer asset and managing the firm's brand equity. The courses in the Marketing concentration, coupled with your independent project, will elevate your marketing knowledge and skills for the marketing career path you choose.

Strategy

If you’re interested in pursuing a career in strategic planning or general management, or with a strategy consulting firm, you can build on the broad foundation of your core curriculum with a Strategy concentration. This concentration will provide you with a deeper understanding of strategy and competitive environments, as well as the analytical skills you’ll need to bring insights to data.
