You can customize the M.B.A. program to your individual interests and goals by choosing from 13 optional concentrations. All M.B.A. concentrations require completion of three courses, allowing you to choose up to two concentrations while meeting the 18-credit hour elective requirement. Although students may initially select a concentration at the time they complete their application for admission, any further changes to the concentration, including adding a new concentration or changing a concentration, will not be possible until the student has completed at least one semester of their graduate studies. Please review the list of approved concentration classes online.

To complete a concentration, students must take at least three (3) unique elective courses from a pre-specified required list of courses. The concentration will appear on the student’s transcript, but not on the diploma. Students may not apply duplicate courses across concentrations.

Eligibility:

• Only students enrolled in the traditional M.B.A. program are eligible to add an Ilitch School concentration
• You must be in good academic standing and making satisfactory academic progress (no academic probation)
• Concentration request forms must be completed and submitted a semester/term before you apply for graduation. Once your graduation audit has started, you may no longer declare a concentration.
• Due to revisions to the M.B.A. program that took effect in Fall 2023, students admitted in Fall 2023 or later may declare up to one concentration only. Students admitted prior to Fall 2023 may declare up to two concentrations.
