Cox School of Business - Full-Time M.B.A. and Professional M.B.A. Programs

M.B.A. Concentrations:

Listed below are the requirements for each concentration. Every M.B.A. student begins with a general business concentration. In each fall and spring term, students are given a designated time when the concentration selection can be changed.

Core required courses are not included in the concentrations lists of courses other than the recommended second required accounting course, which is not included in the total hours required for each concentration. A directed study course does not count toward a concentration requirement. M.B.A. students complete one concentration. Only Full-Time M.B.A. students with 36 credit hours of elective courses may be able to complete a second concentration.

Concentrations and specializations do not appear on diplomas; however, the concentration does appear on transcripts. (Please note: While the Cox School encourages all students to select the concentration of their choosing, it cannot ensure that all classes will be available in every term to meet the concentration requirements.)

Note that, for the second accounting core requirement, a student may take ACCT 6201 Financial Accounting II or ACCT 6205 Managerial Accounting I. ACCT 6202 Financial Accounting II is a prerequisite for ACCT 6210 Financial Reporting and ACCT 6211 Analysis I and Financial Statement Analysis, which are highly recommended courses for students concentrating in finance, although these two accounting courses do not count toward the finance concentration.
