Students may select at least three open electives to customize their program. Electives can be used to explore different content areas; build expertise for an informal concentration; or earn a Graduate Certificate. Many of the electives offered each year are listed below.
At Penn State Great Valley, we take seriously our job of keeping students up-to-date on the continuous changes taking place in business. To address this, the MBA program also offers special topics courses from time to time that reflect emerging new ideas and technologies.
