EMBA Curriculum: 12 Required Courses
The Marshall University Executive MBA curriculum meets the needs of professionals from diverse business and non-business backgrounds. It is designed specifically for individuals who are aspiring to or are presently in a position of managerial leadership. Many of the Core courses have been re-designed so that those students who do not have any previous business course work can successfully complete the curriculum. However, it is highly recommended that those without adequate business background review basic concepts and skills in the areas of Economics, Accounting, Finance, Statistics, and Marketing/Management, in addition to adequacy in EXCEL, WORD, and PowerPoint.
The twelve Core Courses cover all functional areas in business including marketing, information systems, quantitative and production methods, economic analysis, accounting, finance, management, ethics and global issues, entrepreneurship, and business strategy. These courses are required of ALL students and can be taken only in a lock-step format (that is, all students are in the same Core courses in the same sequence). This lock-step approach fosters an atmosphere of friendly and professional networking.
