Academics

Emphasizing the global scope of the modern marketplace and the central role of teamwork in business success, the Georgetown Full-Time MBA Program at the McDonough School of Business prepares emerging business leaders for advanced management careers.

 

First-year MBA students start their studies with a three-week, highly integrated course on the Structure of Global Industries. This experiential learning course teaches ethical decision making, the fundamentals of team dynamics, persuasive communication skills, and how to identify and understand global markets.

 

In the fall term of their first year, students take a number of core courses, ranging from Finance and Statistics for Managers to Firm Analysis and Strategy and Marketing for Growth.  In the spring of the first year, students begin to tailor the curriculum to their interests and professional goals by taking elective courses in addition to core courses.  In the second year, student coursework is almost entirely made up of electives, with a core course on Principled Leadership in Business and Society and the distinctive Global Business Experience.
