Concentrations

The NC State MBA offers eight concentrations that let you tailor your curriculum to match your specific career goals. Each enables you to build on core business skills with a focused study in one area. These concentrations evolved from the inter-disciplinary and cross-functional nature of our faculty's research. While some of our concentrations are aligned with more traditional business functions, others address emerging industries and tap the expertise of not only the College of Management's well respected faculty but also their collaborators across the NC State campus.

A combination of required courses, electives and, in most cases, a semester-long team project provide a depth of understanding of the subject matter. Team projects, typically managed through our Centers and Initiatives, address a problem presented by a corporate client, reinforcing the classroom instruction and providing a valuable hands-on learning experience.
