MBA Program Curriculum
The Hamline MBA curriculum is delivered in a series of four modules that strategically group like topics to help you develop real world leadership skills. Instead of taking a series of disjointed classes in a random order, the modules thoughtfully lead you from introductory to advanced critical thinking and explore the multi-faceted issues that businesses face.
The Hamline MBA requires successful completion of four core modules (40 credits) plus two additional elective courses (8 credits). A third elective course (4 credits) can be used to create a program of specialized studies or concentration in international management, finance, or conflict management.
The Hamline MBA is designed to be completed in 21 months.
Core Modules
Module 1: Leading People with Integrity and Purpose
Developing the leadership skills needed to harness and direct the energies of people within an organization and its environment.
Module 2: Managing and Leveraging Organizational Finances and Operations
Developing the analytical, forecasting and budgeting skills needed to effectively utilize and streamline organizational resources.
Module 3: Understanding External Environments for Long-term Success
Developing the knowledge and skills needed to manage external realities and successfully compete in market and non-market environments.
Elective Module
Students are required to take two elective courses in fields such as Finance, International Business Management, and Conflict Management. Students may choose to develop a broad business perspective by taking a course in each of the three areas or develop a deeper understanding of a business field by taking two courses within an area.
Students may also further specialize their program by taking a third course in the same area, thereby earning a concentration in that field.
Module 4: Proactive Planning, Change, and Development
Developing the skills needed to effectively and efficiently steer an organization through long-term success and growth.
Earning a Concentration
An MBA concentration in Finance, International Management, or Conflict Management can be earned by completing a third elective course, usually after Module 4.
International Seminars
MBA students can attend an international seminar as part of their degree. Recent seminars include ten-day trips to China, Germany, Dubai, Italy, and India. Each seminar earns four credits and includes both pre- and post-travel class meetings and written assignments. International seminars frequently satisfy course requirements for two concentrations. Foreign language ability is not required.
