Unique interdisciplinary concentrations in Collaboration with other colleges
Thomas Jefferson University’s School of Business has collaborated with several other Jefferson colleges to create and offer unique interdisciplinary concentrations such as Health Analytics (in partnership with College of Population Health), Cannabis Business (in partnership with Institute of Emerging Health Professions), Real Estate Development (in partnership with College of Architecture and Built Environment) and Biopharmaceutical Commercialization (in partnership with Jefferson Institute of Bioprocessing). Enrollment in such courses must be planned, in advance, with the program director. Additionally, students can propose a custom concentration(s) such as healthcare administration that align with backgrounds and career interests.
Foundation Courses (As-Needed): Foundation courses are designed to provide students who do not have a background in business, with the necessary knowledge and skills needed to be successful in the MBA program. Our foundation courses cover areas such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics, accounting, operations and financial management. Each foundation course is 1.5 credits and is offered in an accelerated online format to accommodate various schedules and learning preferences. Depending on prior academic background and experience, students may be waived from some of, or all, foundation courses.
