Curriculum
The 46-credit core program covers contemporary business concepts and is divided into four thematic terms. The themes tie together the notions presented in individual courses. This approach integrates learning in ways that are more reflective of today’s workplace realities. It also sets the stage for more sophisticated analysis in subsequent terms.
Each term is capped by an integrative course specifically designed to allow for the assimilation and application of the learned business knowledge in a real-life context:
