Program Description The first year is comprised of eight required courses. Students are introduced to the major disciplinary areas within business studies, including strategy, economics, accounting, finance, organizational behaviour, marketing, and operations management. This part of the program builds the broad base of skills required by senior management.
Beyond disciplinary skills, participants learn to interpret the organizational environment and adapt new management practice to new demands. Course participants have the opportunity to focus on individual interests during the MBA Project phase (COMM 799). Working under the supervision of a faculty member, students complete a major research project, applying relevant theory to the study of a substantial organizational problem or issue. Alternatively, students may forego doing a project and instead complete their MBA with all course work.
