The masters-level Leadership/Consulting concentration prepares students to take positions in consulting firms and other organizations that will require exemplary leadership skills.

Students will make use of traditional methods of learning such as texts and lectures. However, this concentration emphasizes hands-on practice by means of simulations, student projects in local companies, cases, and guest speakers. Extensive use will be made of communications technology in the form of the Internet, computer-assisted decision-making, and virtual teamwork to teach required technology skills.

Concentration Requirements:

To fulfill the requirements of the Leadership/Consulting concentration, students must complete the standard MBA core curriculum and three graduate Leadership/Consulting courses.
