- You’ll work with faculty and local executives on current case studies involving hands-on learning which incorporate finance, marketing, operations, and accounting simultaneously.
- Beyond the Integrated Core, quantitative competencies and leadership development, Welch MBA students may choose to study in one of four academic concentrations: Accounting, Finance, Management, or Marketing.
