Designing An MBA Curriculum With AACSB In Mind

Abstract

This paper reports on our investigation of how AACSB standards can be woven into an MBA curriculum. The result is a bold move away from functional “silos” and a radical redesign using a cross-functional integrated approach.  The Cotsakos College of Business’s curricular requirements were examined in order to determine whether or not they addressed the pertinent issues and were suitable educational criteria for conference of the Masters of Business Administration Degree at an AACSB international school.
