Exciting
Curriculum Changes for the MBA Program!
Beginning this fall semester, the MBA curriculum will look a little different.
We now have two new "options" for students to choose from—a
Research Option or an Applied Management Option.
The Research Option is designed for students who want to focus on business
research and quantitative methods for research. Students would want to
complete the Research Option if their goals are to continue their education
and pursue a Ph.D. or if they have an interest in conducting research
with a faculty mentor. The Applied Management Option is very similar to
the current General Management MBA, but includes two new courses, MBA
5000, Strategic Management, and MBA 5900, Management Simulation. The Strategic
Management course is designed for students to take as one of the first
courses in the program, which covers ethical and social responsibility
in strategic decision making, including value chain analysis, and internal,
external, and global considerations. The Management Simulation course
emphasizes integrative decision making utilizing a nationally recognized
on-line simulation.
The MBA with Accountancy Concentration will continue to be offered--the
main change for this program will be the replacement of the current MBA
5890, Administrative Policy course with the new MBA 5900, Management Simulation
course.
For more details, visit our "Learn About
the Program" page. We're very excited about these changes, as
the EIU MBA degree is working to give its students even more of the vital
skills needed to excel in the business world. Please contact us at mba@eiu.edu
with any questions about the new curriculum. I look forward to hearing
your feedback.
