If a student chooses to complete a concentration, four of the student's chosen electives must be in that area. It is recommended that students choose electives from at least five areas, including their concentration. The required capstone course, Business Policy, must be taken in the student's final quarter in the program. Students with appropriate prerequisites may also take one or two courses from the Master of Science in Finance , the Master Science in Environmental Management, or Ph.D. Programs for use as their electives, but these courses may not be considered part of an MBA concentration, and require the approval of an adviser. This requires the approval of the MBA program adviser.
Waivers can reduce the number of courses required for obtaining the degree.
Up to two of the eleven electives may be satisfied through transfer credits for graduate course work performed outside of the Stuart School MBA curriculum. Students who wish to enroll in any of the dual degree programs must apply to, and be accepted by, both programs. Concurrent enrollment in both degree programs is required. The Stuart Graduate Student Handbook should be consulted for more details about the policies and regulations of the Stuart School and the university. Students are responsible for adhering to the rules and regulations set forth in the Handbook.
