CMBA Curriculum

The Corporate MBA Program is a full 53 credit hour MBA program consisting of two required intensive courses (5 credits), nine core courses (27 credits), one international study trip (3 credits), five advanced courses (15 credits) and one integrating course (3 credits).

Year One of the Corporate MBA Program offers a blend of courses intended to develop skills with selected analytical methods and to introduce participants to the basic areas of managerial decision-making. The first year begins in late July with a three-day intensive orientation. Two courses are taken during each of the four nine-week terms that comprise the first year.

Studying the effect of cultural influences on business is one thing, seeing them in action is another. The program of study for the first year culminates with the completion of a course on Business in the Global Environment. After analyzing international business issues through readings, case studies, and formal research projects, you and your CMBA classmates will travel as a class on an International Study Trip to one or more major foreign locations to study management practices in an international setting.

Year Two is designed to utilize the analytical techniques and management precepts from the first year courses to enhance your executive decision making skills. This year begins with an intensive course that covers the legal, ethical, and social issues of business. You then complete three nine-week terms with two courses each, and finish the program with a five-week term where one course is taken in the morning and professional development seminars are offered in the afternoon.
