The
Master of Business Administration degree provides students with a broad
managerial education drawing from all business disciplines. It is obtained by
completing the program course requirements of 53 hours beyond the
prerequisites. U.T. Dallas offers several distinct approaches to obtaining an
MBA. These include (1) the Cohort MBA Program, a full-time program in which
students are admitted as a group each Fall and take their required classes
together in a fixed sequence, (2) the Professional MBA Program for students
attending school part-time, with classes largely meeting in the evening, and
(3) the Global MBA Online with all core and elective courses available by
distance learning, online.
Each
of these MBA programs consists of 29 hours of required core courses and 24
hours of elective course work, which may include an optional concentration in a
selected area of business study. Courses in the Global MBA Online use
audio streaming lectures supported by downloadable presentations, online
text-based conferences, bulletin board and e-mail exchanges, and
teleconferences.
The
M.A. in International Management Studies degree provides
knowledge of and training in international management, which includes trade
across national boundaries, management practices within foreign nations, and
management on a global basis. The program provides students the opportunity to
learn in-depth the fundamentals of (1) functional areas of management, (2)
international management, and (3) cultural, sociopolitical, and geographical
constraints affecting international business decisions. In the past, the School

The
M.S. in Information Technology and Management bridges the gap between
the pure information technologist and the business professional. By
providing a technology intensive program with a business focus, the program
prepares graduates to apply information technology to business problems and
create efficient and effective solutions. The degree requires a minimum
of 36 credit hours, consisting of basic business courses, IT foundation
courses, IT elective courses, and free electives. The business core
courses are designed to provide incoming students with the context to better
appreciate and understand the complex issues that occur at the interface
between IT and business. The IT foundation courses cover the essentials
of IT knowledge that any student must posses.
The IT elective courses provide in-depth knowledge of the technology and
technology management issues. In addition, students may choose approved
electives that maximize their individual educational and professional goals.
The program also offers opportunities for students to concentrate in specific
tracks such as �Enterprise Systems�,
�Healthcare Systems�, and �Information Security� depending on their
interests and goals.
The
M.S. in Management and Administrative Sciences degree provides students
the opportunity for specialized education in a specific management discipline
built upon a core of business courses. It is obtained by completing the program
course requirements of 36 hours beyond all prerequisites. The program consists
of 10 hours of business core courses, 12 to 18 hours of specified concentration
courses and the remaining hours as elective courses. The concentration areas
include (1)

2008) (2)
Electronic Commerce, (3) Organizations and Strategy, (4) Supply Chain Management (Not
accepting new students beginning Fall, 2008), (5) and
Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The classes for this degree are largely
offered in the evenings.
The
evening programs, MBA, M.A., and M.S., serve primarily employees of the
companies in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
The daytime, full-time, Cohort MBA program enrolls students selected from
local, national, and international applicants. The Global MBA Online serves
students seeking a flexible schedule or who live too far from campus as well as
students emphasizing international management and information technology.

educational background in finance.�
Candidates in the M.S. in Finance choose one of four concentrations:
Financial Analysis, Financial Management, Financial Risk Management, and

a career in financial risk management and one of the financial risk management
certifications. The Financial Engineering concentration is designed for
students with the quantitative ability to purse a
career applying quantitative methods to investment and risk management
problems. Because several of these concentrations designed to best prepare
students for certain certifications, students are required to complete all the
course work in a particular concentration to graduate with that
concentration.�
The M.S. in Supply Chain Management (SCM) will explore the key issues
associated with the design and management of industrial supply chains. It will
entail concepts dealing with the improvement of supply chain operations towards
lower costs, faster delivery, higher quality and bigger variety. The
ultimate objective is using SCM to mold traditional business operations into
competitive weapons for today's global economy. Students will acquire not
only fundamental knowledge of business management but also analytical
decision-making skills (especially for complex systems) along with real-life
experiences gained through projects with area companies.

The
Ph.D. in International Management Studies provides the opportunity to
conduct research in the analysis of international business, emphasizing a
strong foundation in theory and research in organizations and strategy.

implications for management. Topics such as organizational design and change,
corporate strategy, multinational management, technological and industrial development,
and managerial decision making are examined using theories and empirical
methods drawn from sociology, economics, political science, anthropology,
psychology, demography, statistics, and computer science.
The
