Electives and/or project demonstrating expertise (P.D.E.)

A range of electives is available to students. These electives help deepen the skills and knowledge needed in the student’s area of interest. A project demonstrating expertise (P.D.E.) may substitute for elective courses or be taken in combination with electives. The P.D.E. is designed jointly by a faculty member, executive mentor, and the student to provide an intensive, significant, documented experience that demonstrates expertise at a level where the student masters the application of a subject area in an actual work situation, to the benefit of both student and organization. The faculty and executive mentors evaluate and grade the student’s performance.

(See the M.B.A. director for core courses and electives, guidelines for C590 Independent Study in Business, and C599 Project Demonstrating Expertise.)
