Information about General MBA Programs

The primary aims of the MBA are to develop among students the foundation skills and competencies in general management.The generalist MBA roughly consists of three parts.The first part gives students grounding in core business skills such as the following:

• marketing,
• human resource management,
• information systems,
• financial and management accounting,
• and others.

The second part allows students to choose subjects which are of particular interest or relevance to them and focus on these. These subjects of study, known as electives because students elect to study them, will most probably have a bearing on their future careers. The third and final part of the MBA is usually a project which students carry out within a company. This will involve the solving of a particular problem or the management of a project, after which the students must write a dissertation based on their experience.Please visit the relevant guides for MBA Program Rankings and Top Business School Ranking.
