Students may elect courses in clusters of "Tracks" organized around a common theme designed to be integrative and cohesive. The Tracks provide competencies and skill sets for decision-making in seven areas:

  • The Accounting Track is designed to offer additional courses for students having prior academic preparation in accounting to enable them to satisfy the educational requirements for Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensure in Pennsylvania and most other states.
  • The Business Analytics Track is intended to enhance data analytical skills, enabling managers to synthesize data to make strategic decisions. More specifically, the Analytics Track begins with basic analytics tools and then offers courses in management and marketing analytics to enhance students' capabilities to apply analytics to business problems.
  • The Finance Track provides advanced corporate finance and investment knowledge enabling managers to apply various financial tools in decision making.
  • The Information Systems Track is designed to provide competencies enabling managers to develop and implement information technology.
  • The Strategic Leadership and Innovation Track is intended to sharpen leadership and management skills further. In this track, specific classes are offered on leadership and organizational change management.
  • The Supply Chain Management Track provides competencies needed to develop improvement and innovation in organizational supply chains.
  • The General Business Track is provided for students who wish to develop a broad generalist program or who have particular personal or professional goals not met by one of the other tracks. In this track, students can take courses on human capital management, corporate leadership, organizational culture, negotiations, and employment relations.

The list of courses required for each Track and additional approved elective courses is maintained by the graduate program office.
