Curriculum

A Curriculum Individualized for You

The Crosby MBA curriculum is designed to create business leaders for the future.  How do we do this? 

• Through personal advising sessions -- 
  •  You can tailor the program to prepare for your specific career goals. 
  •  Our Senior Academic Advisor, Robyn Ridgway, meets with each student to compose an individualized Program of Study (POS) - your guide for future selection of courses. 
  • Based on your POS, each semester you may choose courses independently or with guidance from the advisor 
• With a rigorous and challenging curriculum -- 
  • Foundation courses introduce you to principles of management, marketing and finance and to an array of business skills
  • Advanced courses ensure depth in the functional areas of business
  •  Two team-based experiences apply your knowledge to a “real world” business.
  • Professional development opportunities enhance your personal business skills
  • Concentration areas allow you to focus on your chosen field of study – management, finance, marketing or another business-related path 
• By accommodating your own level of business knowledge -- 
  • If you have a business background, you can waive foundation courses and complete your degree in 12-18 months
  • Backgrounds in psychology, science, engineering, education, the arts – in any non-business area – are welcome.  You can acquire fundamental business knowledge, then move to the advanced curriculum and complete your degree in two years if you enroll full-time.
• By allowing you to concentrate in the field of your choosing – 
  • Management, marketing or finance 
  •  Combined study in law, health services or industrial engineering
  • Specialized certificates in non-profit management, the European Union Studies, or a field of your choosing
