The core courses build upon the foundation coursework to provide the MBA student with broad exposure to the interrelated functional disciplines of business. Advanced coursework in Operations, Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Leadership and International Business also prepares students for courses in their specific concentration. At the same time, the approach in these courses reflects the operating philosophy of the College that all business is international, that business problems require integrated solutions, that solid communication skills are necessary to conduct business and that teamwork is the way to get things done and that every individual is a leader who is responsible and accountable for their performance.
