The second year of your MBA program is mostly designed by you.  There are two required core classes (BECON 501 and MGMT 504), and you choose the rest of your coursework in the form of electives that meet your personal interests, career goals, and development needs.  Students must complete a total of 11 4-credit elective courses during the program, which can be taken at any point during the first or second year.  A normal load in the second year is three elective classes per quarter.
