CHAPTER I MBA Full-time Day Program HEGIS #0506 The UB MBA program combines the depth of a renewed and stronger management core curriculum with a breadth of career concentrations. We've redesigned a two-year, full-time curriculum that blends required foundation-building courses with flexible, career-targeted electives. The two-year format offers an excellent time-frame to build extensive career networks both inside and outside of the school, gain further real-world experience, and engage in a comprehensive job search. The UB MBA program committee recently conducted a comprehensive review of our core curriculum. They looked at the latest management education trends in light of the skills that individuals and organizations need for our globally integrated world of business. They consulted with corporate recruiters, alumni, program directors at other schools, faculty, program staff and Career Resource Center personnel to validate a new concept and content for the core curriculum. Programmatic goals such as team skills, quantitative analysis and integrative analysis were considered integral to the revised core. The result is a smaller, modular core focusing on what every manager needs to know, with renewed emphasis on delivery as well as content, with an experiential capstone. This restructuring also allows students greater flexibility to take advantage of a rich selection of concentrations and the LeaderCORE™ program.
