Elective Curriculum

In the second-year Elective Curriculum, students may choose from a range of Social Enterprise elective courses, enabling the integration of the frameworks and functional skills learned in the first year into an understanding of the organization as a total enterprise. See listing of 2009 – 2010 Social Enterprise Elective Courses. In order to design a tailored curriculum to meet their academic goals students may take any combination of courses; pursue field-based project work; integrate social enterprise topics through required papers or projects in other courses; and cross-register for courses in other select graduate programs (for University-wide course guides by topic please see the MBA Courses and Curriculum Overview).
