MBA Elective Courses and Concentrations Align with Your Career Goals

The flexible structure of Keller's MBA coursework is designed so that you can tailor your MBA courses to match your career interests and professional goals. Depending on your area of intent, you also may be able to earn a graduate certificate with your MBA degree. For a general MBA, choose any six from the courses in the Keller academic catalog for which you meet the prerequisite(s). Or, pursue a concentration by selecting two electives for which you meet the prerequisite(s) and a mix of four courses in any of the following areas:

• Accounting
• E-Commerce Management
• Finance
• General Management
• Health Services
• Hospitality Management
• Human Resources
• Information Security
• Information Systems Management
• International Business
• Marketing

If you have relevant experience, you may be able to tailor your coursework by waiving required courses. For example, if you are a licensed CPA, have passed parts of the CPA exam, or hold an undergraduate accounting degree, you may be eligible to waive one or more of the accounting foundations courses in the accounting concentration; however, each course waived must be replaced with an elective course as noted in the section describing your chosen emphasis. (Also see Course Waivers in the Keller academic catalog.)

  Drawing upon multi-disciplinary knowledge gained throughout your Keller MBA, real-world capstone projects provide the unique opportunity for you to demonstrate relevant business judgment and analytical models in the context of current and emerging opportunities. As a required part of your Keller program, the capstone course provides a unique opportunity hone your professional skills while you complete your MBA.
