Synergy
A "specialization" is a micro-credential within the MBA that delivers substantial exposure to a topic without rising to the level of a stand-alone certificate. Specializations must be earned alongside a degree and cannot be conferred independently. Specializations are recorded on transcripts, not on diplomas. These provide an opportunity to delve into two topics that students find important to their career and personal goals.
Synergy
Complete two Graduate Business Specializations.
MBA students earn two specializations to demonstrate competency in two areas that develop their MBA core more deeply. To enroll in a specialization, a student must be admitted to the MBA program. Students enrolled in Pathway 2 (Synergy) take two specializations only.
