Tulane launches full-time MBA curriculum
Tulane University’s A.B. Freeman School of Business has a new full-time MBA curriculum set to begin in the fall.
The STEM-designated program leverages Freeman’s established strengths while delivering the knowledge, skills and experience sought by today’s top employers.
The new format divides the semesters into two seven-week terms, which significantly expands the breadth of content without increasing the total number of credit hours.
In addition to finance and business analytics, the curriculum offers new concentrations in sustainability and strategy & marketing.
Students will have the opportunity to pursue a variety of joint-degree options, including a two-year MBA/master of sustainable real estate development, a two-and-a-half year MBA/master of management in energy, a three-year MBA/master of health administration, a four-year JD/MBA and a five-year MD/MBA.
