The Fox Professional MBA is a part-time, evening program, which prepares individuals to assume leadership roles in their careers. The hallmarks of the Fox School’s commitment to graduating dynamic, qualified and skilled students are its focus on four fundamental principles: integrated curriculum, real world learning, personalized service, and value.
These principles are reflected in the content and delivery of your graduate business education.
Integrated Curriculum
During your first semesters of study, you will experience a rigorous introduction to management perspectives on the key disciplines on which business decisions are made. These core courses cover disciplines such as statistics, accounting, finance, marketing, operations management, management information systems and economics. The Professional MBA instructional approach to these courses involves presenting a common set of issues, problems or circumstances, which each course addresses in relation to that subject. The dynamic, integrated curriculum utilizes cases rooted in real-world business problems to address these issues.
Real World Learning
The cornerstone of experiential learning in the Professional MBA is our Enterprise Management Consulting Practicum or EMC Practicum. This final semester course enables students to deliver professional level consulting services to companies and organizations. Guided by faculty mentors, students experience the demands of starting a new venture, developing a new product, entering a new market or analyzing a business problem or opportunity.
The realities of business management are demonstrated through the many corporate and governmental speakers who address our students in the classroom as well as through networking events organized by the Fox School’s Graduate Career Management Center. Also, faculty and administration ensure that students are informed of the wealth of speaker engagements open to our students.
Personalized Service
Throughout your experience at the Fox School of Business, specific attention is paid to those services which will ensure your success. Academic and career advisors provide individual counseling to guide you through your educational experience and to develop a strategy for managing your career.
Value
