Northeastern has reinvented the Full-Time MBA for today’s rapidly changing world. Our Full-Time MBA program integrates business knowledge with a deep understanding of technology, preparing students to stay ahead of change and become the leaders that today’s business world demands. Students will choose from a wide-ranging list of in-demand electives and concentrations—including our signature MBA x concentrations, which allows them to develop a unique nonbusiness skill set.
Experience-Powered Learning
Learning by doing is a hallmark of a Northeastern MBA. Students will integrate classroom study with professional experience in their choice of experience-fueled electives and through their corporate residency. Far removed from the typical internship, students will work full time at a leading firm or startup in their field and have significant responsibilities as they work to deliver on organizational goals. Students can choose a three-month, six-month, or even two six-month residencies.
Select Two Concentrations
Students will select two concentrations to complete their MBA coursework, which include both in-demand business concentrations and our unique MBA x concentrations. Business concentrations include analytics, brand management, business management for healthcare, corporate finance, corporate innovation, entrepreneurship, international business, investments, leading people & organizations, marketing, marketing analytics, operations and supply chain management, and sustainability and business. MBA x concentrations consist of graduate coursework in highly relevant, nonbusiness fields offered through partnerships with other Northeastern colleges. MBA x concentrations include artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, biotechnology industry, cybersecurity, data science, data visualization, experience design, game design and analytics, information ethics, media innovation and advocacy, and software development.
Build an Interdisciplinary Skill Set
Students will select six interdisciplinary (nonbusiness) credits of their choice. They can mix and match the content that interests them from a diverse list of eligible graduate courses across Northeastern colleges.
