Online MBA Concentrations
With MBA@Dayton, you have the option of adding a concentration to your course of study. By earning a concentration, you will build key skills in a focus area that relates to your professional interests.
Adding a concentration to your MBA program can help you:
- Tailor your learning experience to match your professional needs and interests
- Demonstrate your level of expertise to employers in a particular subject matter
- Boost your resume to help you advance or transition into a new career
To add a concentration to your online MBA program, you will complete three elective courses instead of two (for a total of nine credits). This will add three credits to your course of study.
