The Tepper School has among the largest offering of electives of any top 20 business school. Depth across business functions is the basis for business strategy, it's this command of complex and dynamic problem solving strength that serves as the foundation of the core MBA degree. Most students in the General Management Track complete three to five concentrations during their course of study.
Concentration areas include: Accounting, Biotechnology, Communications, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Information Systems, International Business, Marketing, Operations Research, Organizational Behavior, and Production/Operations Management.
