Info

Concentrations are not required for the MBA degree. For those students electing to fulfill concentrations, a complete listing of requirements can be found in the Course Catalog. PhD course requirements are contained in the PhD catalog on the Simon website. Course Prerequisites One of the distinguishing features of Simon MBA/MS programs is their highly integrated nature. Faculty builds on the core curriculum in the development of their courses. Therefore, it is recommended that some courses be taken in sequence. Please consult the Course Catalog for a listing of prerequisites and/or co-requisites provided at the end of each course description. Reduced Course Load It is possible for full-time MBA students to reduce their course load below three courses for one quarter in their second year if they wish to devote more time to the job search or other matters. Doing this for one quarter will not affect a student’s scholarship or status as a full- time student. This reduction of course load is only permitted once and students must contact their academic advisor in the Office of Student Engagement for permission. Any further reductions would result in a change of status and a reduction of scholarship aid. International students should check with the International Services Office (ISO) before reducing their academic course load. Course Overloads Students who wish to register for more than four courses must seek approval from their academic advisor in the Office of Student Engagement before registration. Approval is granted on an individual basis subject to prior academic performance. First-year students may not overload in the first quarters of study. Course Overload forms are located on the Registrar’s Office website. Schedule Planning MBA students are advised to begin planning their program early, prior to registration for the winter quarter. To assist students in selecting a concentration, academic advisors are available in the Office of Student Engagement and information sessions are held. Faculty in the different concentration areas and Simon student clubs jointly sponsor these sessions periodically to assist students in selecting their concentration. Students who are undecided on career options are encouraged to explore possibilities with the Career Management Center in conjunction with their program planning. Faculty and academic advisors are also available to discuss concentrations and career implications. Once a concentration or desired set of courses is chosen, students should check in the Course Catalog to determine course sequencing. Some courses have required or recommended prerequisites. Next, students should check course availability on the Course Offerings for the upcoming academic year, a tentative schedule of all courses. Because not all courses are offered each quarter, and because course offerings sometimes change, students should have contingency plans. Concentrations Although not required, most MBA students opt for at least one concentration and, in many cases, two. Concentrations permit students to develop expertise in the following areas: Business Systems Consulting Competitive and Organizational Strategy (STR) Pricing Track Strategy & Organizations Track Computers and Information Systems (CIS) Corporate Accounting (ACC) Entrepreneurship (ENT) Finance (FIN) Health Sciences Management (HSM) International Management Marketing (MKT) Marketing Strategy Track Brand Management Track Pricing Track
Operations Management (OMG) Public Accounting (CPA) Major concentrations offered in PhD Program (ACC, CIS, STR, FIN, MKT, and OMG) Outlines for each concentration’s requirements can be found in the Simon Management Programs Information Guide and the PhD Program Catalog or online at www.simon.rochester.edu Students’ programs will be audited for concentration fulfillment upon program completion. Joint/Specialized Degrees Joint degree study is offered in the following area: MD/MBA Please refer to Simon Business School Information Guide for further information and contacts. Additional Degree Offerings Master of Science programs are offered in Finance, Accounting, Business Analytics, and Marketing Analytics. Students who begin one program and wish to change to another program (i.e., begin in the MS and decide to pursue an MBA), must obtain the approval of the person responsible for admissions in the receiving program. The director of the program they are exiting should also be notified of the proposed switch. A student may be asked to complete a new application. Student Status. Enrollment Verification Verification of enrollment for matriculated and non-matriculated Simon students are based on the following each quarter: -Full-time = 9 or more credit hours -For Fall Quarter - Students registered for courses in the Pre-Fall and Fall Term terms will be considered full-time if they register for at least 12 credit hours combined in the two Fall terms. Students registered for courses in Fall term are considered full time if they are registered for at least 9 credit hours. -Half-time = 6-8 credit hours -Part-time = 5 or less credit hours Students needing verification or confirmation of their enrollment status for loans, health insurance, or scholarships, may request an Enrollment Verification through the National Student Clearinghouse. Visit the University Registrar’s Office web site for further information at http://www.rochester.edu/registrar/verifications.html Change of Student Status MBA/MS students may request a change of status from part-time to full-time or from full- time to part-time. A change of status from full-time to part-time will usually be granted. Students should be aware of conditions surrounding such a change from full-time to part-time: -Student will lose all merit-based tuition benefits awarded through Simon Business School; -Student will still be responsible for satisfactorily completing the Business Communication sequence if they have not completed the core courses as a full-time cohort student; -Student will also lose all University medical coverage; -International students must contact the International Services Office (ISO) prior to making a change to determine how a change of status might affect their visa. A change of status from part-time to full-time will usually be granted if the student is in good academic standing at Simon Business School. Note that full-time students are required to pay at least the mandatory portion of the University’s Health Fee and that the activity fee for full-time students is higher than the fee for part-time students.
