A Career-Curated Curriculum
Courses are grouped into Specializations, structured so that you receive academics in combinations that mirror how you’ll actually use them on the job - and many of our students find themselves applying what they learn in class immediately. That produces business mastery. All the Specializations you complete throughout the program ultimately come together as a capstone project and lead to the complete MBA.
