MBA Core and Breadth Requirements
The core and breadth requirements provide all students with a common body of knowledge and a comprehensive introduction to the academic disciplines underlying graduate business education (finance, behavior science, and quantitative analysis). Conceptual approaches to business are integrated into a broad overview of the functional areas of business management. No waivers are granted for required core and breadth courses.
However, students who have completed 15 semester hours in a core/breadth area within seven years prior to enrolling in the MBA program can petition the Zicklin Office of Graduate Student Services to substitute an advanced-level course in the same area for the core requirement.
