As a part of the University of Texas System, the University aims to provide quality educational opportunities for the enhancement of the people of Texas, the nation, and the world through intellectual and personal growth. The School of Management was established within the University in 1973. Widely recognized for its strengths in its particular areas of endeavor, the School gives students access to an internationally renowned faculty in a variety of management fields. It is an institution of choice, preparing tomorrow s business leaders and expanding the frontiers of management knowledge. Although the program equips students with timeless business skills and proficiencies, the curriculum emphasizes mastery of the managerial concepts, tools, and technologies that are altering the business landscape around the world today.
Students take all of their first-year classes together, thus forming a cohesive cohort.
Most of the core courses build the cohesiveness with team assignments. In the summer after the first year, students complete a paid internship with a company. Many of these positions are with high tech enterprises. The final semester allows students to take electives in a chosen concentration. The Cohort MBA Program is demanding and to meet the requirements of the program, we recommend that candidates have previous business experience, a lap-top computer and some knowledge of calculus.
