Featured Course: MBA AF 690 Research Colloquium

The  MBA AF 690 Research Colloquium, offered in the College of Management is a tremendous opportunity to complete hands on research in your field.  As the first part of our Master’s Thesis Option this course covers research methods with lectures and discussion surrounding the skills required to formulate research strategy.

Getting involved in research helps with gaining hands-on experience in your field and provides the opportunity to work closely with a faculty mentor while connecting with academic colleagues in your area of interest. This course also lends  academic credit which applies directly to your program. Upon completion you can  continue on with the second part of this course, MBA AF 699 Master Thesis Option . If not, MBA AF 690 Research Colloquium still applies, as an independent study, to your overall degree.

These courses are offered in a hybrid format; you’re only required to visit in person occasionally throughout the semester. A great way to combine an on-campus experience, with the convenience of a course taken remotely.

The tuition for this course is $1725 for all and is not effected by residency status.
