Students opting for a specialization choose their electives from a prescribed list of courses relating to that specific discipline. Specializations are available in the following areas: Accounting; Finance; Health Services Administration; Human Resource Management; Management; Management Information Systems; Marketing; Sport Management. [Note: The linked pages display the complete set of requirements for the M.B.A. degree with a particular specialization; the courses specific to each specialization are shown at the end of each page].
