CURRICULUM
When the Goizueta faculty redesigned the curriculum for our
Two- and One-Year MBA programs, they created an academic program that is
flexible enough to offer depth in your field of study, while providing the structure
to integrate what you learn across disciplines.
OUR CURRICULUM
Integrated Core
A strong business education is built on a solid foundation. The required core courses are designed and
sequenced to ensure you develop the critical skill sets you need at the right time. By the end of the first
semester, Two-Year students will have completed all but one required course. Students in the One-Year
Program will have completed all required courses by the end of the summer term.
Flexibility to Specialize
You begin to develop mastery when you dig deeply into your areas of interest. With a variety of electives
to choose from, you will have the opportunity to tailor your learning experience in a way that allows you
to master the skills you need to succeed.
“Through core courses such as Management Practice, you tackle

complex business issues that come directly from the desks of business
leaders. Elective courses deepen your expertise in disciplines such
as finance, marketing and strategy, as well as in the competency
areas of leadership, decision-making, and ethics. With guidance
from top minds in academe and industry, this curriculum guides
your preparation for the rigors of global business. It sets you apart
as a business person who can think critically, comprehensively and
creatively.”
Anne Dries
Assistant Dean of Full-Time MBA Programs

CURRICULUM
Management Practice
The unique course, entitled Management Practice, provides you the opportunity to develop
and practice a crucial managerial ability: solving a business problem with ambiguous or less
than perfect information at one’s disposal. This course is a vehicle for strengthening the links
to practice real integration across each academic discipline. It will help you build the skills to
frame problems and find the data you need to analyze a situation and make a supported, timely
decision.
Recently, students worked with Atlanta executives to tackle business problems, such as:
• How to continue to grow business in a down economy. – Rogers Electric

• How to address a billion dollar funding shortfall at Atlanta’s premier trauma hospital.

LEADERSHIP AT GOIZUETA
Emory’s Goizueta Business School is committed to realizing the mission of the institution, to
develop “principled leaders for global enterprise.” We pursue this mission through a holistic,
integrated curriculum that starts with mastery of the core management disciplines in the first
year. In the second year, the curriculum builds from the core disciplines to prepare you
for leadership responsibility through a series of experiential leader development modules and
multiple opportunities for the application of learning within the business school and
surrounding community.
Leader development at Goizueta is not a series of discrete events, but a coherent process of
individual development and growth over time. The programming is based on, and measured
against, a competency model that reflects our comprehensive approach to developing leaders:

This select group of students takes part in various experiential leader development activities. Past Fellows have participated in a values assessment

culminates with a Capstone Challenge where Fellows incorporate everything they have learned over their time at Goizueta*.
As part of their Capstone Challenge, MBA09 GALA Fellows participated in a four-day sailing adventure in the British Virgin Islands*. In an
unfamiliar, dynamic environment and with very little expertise, students led a group of peers to accomplish a specific task every day. Ultimately
working together as a team, everyone fulfilled a specific role on the boat. Pictured here is Team Gold Great Dog working together while under sail.

“Professor Robert Kazanjian was my Strategy Professor during my first module of classes at
Emory. As part of our class, Professor Kazanjian forced me to do so much more than just
read cases and answer application questions. I learned how to approach any problem by
using critical analysis and often a heavy dose of analytics. I will never look at a business
challenge again without utilizing what I learned from Professor Kazanjian. He definitely
strengthened my ability to face problems and ultimately be a stronger, more prepared,
global leader.”

“Professor Sundar Bharadwaj has been instrumental in shaping my view of the marketing
world. I came in with the notion that marketing was a vague “art” with no real benefit
and I would only take the mandatory marketing classes. However, in my core marketing
class, he presented such a compelling and fact-based view of marketing that I have taken
more marketing classes this semester and have decided to make it my concentration.
Professor Bharadwaj has also been a great mentor and sounding board for ideas.”

“Professor Jan Barton, who teaches Financial Reporting, was an invaluable part of my
academic experience at Goizueta. Technical interviews in finance can be intimidating.
Without a thorough framework to start from, it can be very difficult to think through the
creative questions you’ll face. Professor Barton’s ability to go past the simple construction
of financial statements into truly interpreting how they are affected by different complex
financial transactions was crucial in developing my ability to secure a finance internship
for the summer.”

CUSTOMIZE YOUR LEARNING EXPERIENCE
In response to the dynamic business world, Goizueta offers 21 different concentrations—within the five academic areas—in both established
and emerging topics. Electives provide students the opportunity to pursue specific areas of study beneficial to a particular career.
Throughout the duration of the MBA program, you select a minimum of 13 electives in the Two-Year MBA or 10 electives in the
One-Year MBA. Depending on the course of study, you may choose Goizueta electives or approved electives from other schools within
Emory or other partner institutions.
Furthermore, Two-Year MBA students tailor their curriculum to meet specific career goals. By choosing four electives to take in your area
of study prior to a summer internship, you can maximize your return from the internship experience.
“Goizueta’s smaller community provides the opportunity to

craft your educational experience to fit your individual career
and developmental goals. You can pursue the traditional
MBA tracks of Finance, Marketing and Management, or
atypical tracks such as Entrepreneurship or Sports Marketing
and Management. The support of our professors and their
connections with the Atlanta business community make any
project or opportunity for experiential learning possible.”

“My international travels have

provided me with a unique
perspective on how businesses can be
successful in a variety of economic
contexts. The most memorable
moment outside the classroom was
my trip to Thailand and Vietnam
during an International Travel
Module. It was my first time
experiencing international business
and how firms operating in emerging
economies could be profitable. The
trip also allowed me to visit an
orphanage in Vietnam for children
who were deaf, blind and victims of
Agent Orange. That experience in
particular was impactful because I
had never seen or experienced the
effects of a lack of education and

of their analytical skills to important analyses. Further, we have combined the insights and energy of our best MBAs and Executive
