Program Elements
Core Curriculum
Our sequentially designed curriculum facilitates the development of courses that require progressively greater depth of analysis and more sophisticated problem-solving skills. We have designed a curriculum that builds on content learned in earlier courses to meet these objectives. The core curriculum includes Statistics, Economics, Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Operations Management, Information Systems, Human Resources, Global Business, Ethics, and Risk Management.
Cohort Structure
The recommended cohort structure of the Professional MBA Program allows the faculty to better coordinate content and course delivery, thus allowing for greater integration and coordination of courses within and across semesters.
Customized Concentration Courses
Students have the opportunity to customize their coursework with electives to create a program that best meets their career needs.
Speaker Series
The integrated professional development series is available to Professional MBA students. This program will cover a variety of topics including career management, corporate panels and top-level speakers to expose students to real-world application of the concepts learned throughout the MBA program. A selection of speaker events are scheduled at lunchtime and in the evening at Center City Philadelphia and Fort Washington campuses, for the convenience of part-time students.
Enterprise Management Consulting Experience (EMC)
The EMC Practicum is an innovative hands-on learning experience involving faculty and students. During their practicum, cross-cultural student teams will assist firms or divisions on a live consulting project. MBA student teams will integrate course work, business experience, and primary and secondary research into highly professional market entry strategies or business plans.
