CONCENTRATIONSAlthough Santa Clara University’s MBA program has a general management perspective, students may use their choice of electives to select a concentrated emphasis. Students do not, however, have to select a concentration or, once chosen and begun, do not have to finish the concentration in order to graduate. A concentration will be reflected on a student’s official transcript if the concentration is declared when the student petitions to graduate and all completed courses required for the concentration are documented. Although the awarded concentration will appear on the student’s official degree transcript, the concentration does not appear on the student’s diploma. Santa Clara’s MBA program currently offers nine concentrations, the requirements for which are detailed below. Some courses may count toward more than one concentration. Such “double counting” permits increased flexibility in elective choice but does not reduce the number of courses required for graduation. Appropriate experimental courses (696) and 1-unit courses may count toward a concentration if approved; consult the Graduate Business Programs Office for the petition procedure. Coursework completed outside of Santa Clara University will not satisfy a concentration requirement. As a result of the dynamic nature of concentrations and course offerings, changes to concentration requirements are made throughout the academic year. Consult with the Graduate Business Office for the most recent concentration requirements. Note: In order to ensure breadth of coverage within a general management degree, no more than 17 elective units may be taken in any one discipline. A minimum of 12 units is required to earn a concentration. Each concentration has a faculty coordinator. The coordinators are available to assist students in making decisions about their concentrations and for approving new and experimental courses that may count toward the concentration.
