The Cardean MBA core curriculum grounds students in business language and skills for managing individuals and organizations. Students learn how to design, evaluate, and improve the processes and procedures that constitute a business. Students also learn how to formulate sound business tactics and strategies that are grounded in solid economic principles. The core also provides a basis from which students can explore more advanced concepts through elective courses. Cardean students must first complete the seven courses in the core curriculum before taking any electives.
