CMBA 600 Intro to Graduate Business
The objectives of the Orientation Course are to develop espirit de corps among all new MBA students, as well as the faculty and staff of the program; to give the participants concrete, take-away knowledge in the fundamentals of business education and to set appropriate expectations about the effort, quality and cooperation needed to complete the program. This course provides a basic overview of undergraduate business concepts needed to proceed in the MBA program and allows the student to assess their strength and weaknesses at this particular point in their program. Students will receive lectures from faculty members who will teach the fundamental courses in the core courses and be tested on those principles. Also as a part of the residency, participants are introduced to the goals, expectations and methods that are used throughout the program, including case analysis methodology, business plan preparation and business research and analysis skills and techniques. The ongoing emphasis on relational learning will be explained and stressed as well. The successful completion of this course is required prior to a student proceeding with the Core Courses. Pass/Fail grading.
