Curriculum

The IBEAR MBA curriculum consists of 19 credit courses delivered its August Transition Program and five 8-week terms. Sixteen courses are required of all participants. These 16 courses include internationalized "core" MBA courses and other courses that we consider fundamental for global managers.

Three IBEAR courses are optional and can be replaced by MBA electives of the participant's choice. Electives are taken with students in two-year Marshall MBA program or MBA.PM program.

Thus, the IBEAR MBA program is largely "lock-step" like an EMBA program, wherein participants study together throughout the year. You can take all 19 courses within IBEAR or you can take up to three MBA electives outside of those offered by IBEAR to emphasize an area of personal interest.
