Elective Courses & Leadership Specialization

Elective coursework allows you to tailor the MiM curriculum to your needs and interests. You might opt to add high-level overview courses focused on business fundamentals. Alternatively, you might pursue advanced courses that further develop your leadership skillset. You may also consider opportunities to study abroad through a College of Business program over a break or within the summer term. Of course, you can combine courses from across the fundamental business or advanced leadership courses to create the program that best meets your career goals.

Elective coursework allows you to tailor the MiM curriculum to your needs and interests and students will typically pursue one of three pathways:

  • Expansion of business foundations: Students who prioritize building their foundational business knowledge may pursue this goal through courses including Accounting and Finance for the Non-Financial Manager, Economic Foundations for Marketing Decisions, Project Management, and/or Business Essentials in Information Systems or Supply Chain.
  • Customized pathway: Students may wish to balance their elective courses between fundamental business and advanced leadership and management courses to create the program that best aligns with career goals.
  • Leadership Specialization: Students may earn a leadership specialization within their MiM studies by pursuing three of the courses below within MiM electives:
    • Contemporary Leadership: Theory, Research and Application
    • Character Driven Leadership
    • Managing Behavior in Organizations
    • Change Leadership in Self and Organizations
    • Managing and Leading in Turbulent Times
