Master of Business Administration

The Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program at the Anderson School of Management is based upon a strong core curriculum which is both challenging and continuously evolving to keep pace with the issues facing today’s managers. Students with degrees in any discipline may apply for admission to the M.B.A. program.

The M.B.A. program has two degree tracks:

  • A general management M.B.A. consisting of 31 credit hours of core plus 6 credit hours of general management electives to total 37 credit hours.
  • An M.B.A. with a concentration consisting of 31 credit hours of core plus 12 credit hours of concentration requirements to total 43 credit hours.

M.B.A. Core

The M.B.A. core is required of all M.B.A. students and consists of 11 courses (31 credit hours), as follows:

    Credit
Hours
MGMT 501 Data Driven Decision Making 3
MGMT 502 Financial Accounting and Analysis 3
MGMT 504 Managerial Economics 3
MGMT 506 Managing People in Organizations 3
MGMT 508 Business and Society 3
MGMT 511 Technology Commercialization and the Global Environment 3
MGMT 520 Operations Design and Decision Making 3
MGMT 522 Managerial Marketing 3
MGMT 526 Financial Decision Making 3
MGMT 598 The Strategic Management Process 3
MGMT 600 Perspectives on Management and Careers 1
Total 31


Students who have recently completed a B.B.A. from the Anderson School of Management or at a comparable AACSB-accredited program may request waivers for some core courses, with the exception of MGMT 598, which all students must take as a capstone course. All students, including those who have had some core courses waived, must complete a minimum of 33 graduate credit hours. Of these, 12 credit hours may be transferred from an approved graduate program offered by another university. Approved universities include AACSB-accredited business schools, as well as international business schools with which UNM has a current written exchange agreement.

Students are expected to maintain a 3.0 GPA and must have a 3.0 GPA at graduation. The M.B.A. program may be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. For many students whose professional commitments preclude full-time study, pursuing an M.B.A. on a part-time basis is a viable option. Late afternoon and evening classes are offered to accommodate the needs of working students.
