Program Format

Each concentration is a collection of four courses; three of these courses may be taken concurrently with or following the MBA and MSM core program.

•  For MBA students, the marketing, international business, finance, human resources, information systems and accounting areas of concentration include a total of 12 credit hours, 9 of which will be taken in addition to the coursework required for the MBA core program. To earn a health care administration concentration or conflict management and dispute resolution concentration, all 12 credit hours must be obtained outside of the MBA core program because the MBA core does not include a health care administration or conflict management and dispute resolution course.
• For MSM students, the marketing, international business, finance, human resources and information systems areas of concentration include a total of 12 credit hours, 9 of which will be taken in addition to the coursework required for the MSM core program. To earn an accounting, health care administration, or conflict management and dispute resolution concentration, all 12 credit hours must be obtained outside of the MSM core program because the MSM core does not include an accounting, health care administration, or conflict management dispute resolution course.

• Except for conflict management and dispute resolution, courses are administered completely online and are seven weeks long. All courses are offered year-round.
  • CMDR courses are held on the Overland Park campus.
• The requirements for the concentration will ensure that there is no conflict with classes or learning teams already scheduled in the degree programs.
• Students enroll in these courses online through their student portal.
