Program Elements
Core Curriculum
Our sequentially designed curriculum facilitates the development of courses that require progressively greater depth of analysis and more sophisticated problem-solving skills. We have designed a curriculum that builds on content learned in earlier courses to meet these objectives. The core curriculum includes business foundation courses, advanced managerial perspective courses and the capstone. In addition to the core curriculum that every MBA student must take, students choose 5 concentration and elective courses.
Cohort Structure
The unofficial cohort that results from the recommended sequence of courses in the Professional MBA Program allows the faculty to better coordinate content and course delivery, thus allowing for greater integration and coordination of courses within and across semesters.
Customized Concentration Courses
Students have the opportunity to customize their coursework with concentration and elective courses to create a program that best meets their career needs.
Speaker Series
The integrated professional development series is available to Professional MBA students. This program will cover a variety of topics including career management, corporate panels and top-level speakers to expose students to real-world application of the concepts learned throughout the MBA program. A selection of speaker events are scheduled at lunchtime and in the evening at Temple's Main, Center City Philadelphia and Fort Washington campuses.
Enterprise Management Consulting Experience (EMC)
The EMC Practice is an innovative hands-on learning experience involving faculty and students. During the practice, cross-cultural student teams will assist firms or divisions on a live consulting project. MBA student teams will integrate course work, business experience, and primary and secondary research into highly professional market entry strategies or business plans.
