Course Sequence

Year One Full-Time Students:
Foundation, Methods & Models

In Year One, students are exposed to the fundamental base of management skills that serves as an important driver throughout the first decade of their careers. Economics, organizational behavior and analytical courses form the intellectual foundation of developing an exceptional business skill set. The core begins with a solid foundation in the three fundamental scientific disciplines - economics, behavioral sciences and quantitative methods. In Year Two, the coursework provides exposure to depth and breadth associated with various industries and functions. The ultimate demonstration of students' intellectual transformation is the confidence with which Tepper MBAs are able to configure and re-test approaches to virtually any problem within any industry. The strong Year One base of training is the key to this adept understanding of those engines that influence business results. The focus is on relevant, not simply popular, management education and training mirrors the Tepper School's legacy and enduring academic philosophy.
 

Year Two Full-Time Students:
Integration, Applications & Strategy

The flexibility of the second year curriculum (virtually all elective courses) gives you the opportunity to integrate what you have learned, to explore the areas in which your career interests lie and to gain additional breadth across your choice of management areas.
