2019-2020 Graduate Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

Management, MBA


The MBA with a major in management is a full-time cohort. This is a general management program, with a cohort structure that offers a lock-step, planned curriculum. It is a full-time, highly intensive program with strong industry interaction. The goal of this program is to provide students a comprehensive knowledge about business and help develop the capability of dealing with real business situations. The program will not only expose students to explicit knowledge about various aspects of business, but also help translate this into tacit knowledge and capability. The goals are achieved through a learning environment that relies heavily on experiential learning, teamwork and strong industry interaction. The aim is to develop and nurture future managers and business leaders who are change agents, and create value by integrating diverse resources, knowledge and capabilities.

Degree requirements


Course requirements for the MBA with a major in management include the MBA core courses and 18 hours of courses in the concentration.

Background requirements


A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution and admission to the Toulouse Graduate School are needed for graduate standing.

Students may have acquired this background in their undergraduate programs by the completion of courses equivalent in content to UNT’s business foundation requirements for the bachelor’s degree in business administration. In addition, students are required to have a working knowledge of computer-based business tools. The College of Business Graduate Programs Office works with students to determine if background deficiency courses will be necessary. Background content might include Financial and Managerial Accounting, Business Information Systems, Statistics, Business Law, Finance, Marketing, Micro and Macro Economics, Operations Management and Calculus. Deficiencies can be completed via traditional academic course work or through Ivy Software and Responsive.net. Ivy Software and Responsive.net deliver self-paced online learning modules that provide the needed background content without the need to formally enroll in courses at UNT.
