THE UM MBA PROGRAM IS ABOUT MORE THAN THE DIPLOMA. IT’S ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE.

THE MBA EXPERIENCE

Leadership. If you’re searching for

an MBA program right now, chances

are you’ve read the word 100 times.

And that’s just in one brochure. Lead-

ership is what every business school

talks about — because leadership is

what every organization demands.

The ability to lead well, however, isn’t

automatically granted with an MBA.

Leading is a skill you acquire along

the way — in the experience of earn-

ing your degree. You obtain it by ex-

changing ideas with accomplished

peers and fielding challenges from

top faculty. You gain it by interacting

with renowned business leaders and

tackling a rigorous curriculum.

At the University of Miami School

of Business Administration, the MBA

experience is shaped by you and the

people you share it with — the pro-

fessors, the administration, and most

of all, your classmates. That’s one of

the reasons why our admissions cri-

teria are decidedly selective. We invite

proven leaders who are ready to take

their talents to a higher level. And by

working side-by-side with peers who

are on the same journey upward,

that’s exactly what they do.

The UM MBA experience will change

you — for life and for the better. And

it will last long after you first hang

your diploma in the corner office.

EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP IS A LEARNED BEHAVIOR.

LEADERSHIP LEARNING & LEARNING TEAMS

Sharpening your ability to lead takes

more than a simple understanding

of theory. It takes real-life experience

in a stimulating, diverse, intellectual

environment. As part of the UM

MBA experience, you’ll work in small

learning teams that will provide you

with the chance to fine-tune your

leadership skills and test your newly

acquired insight.

This open exchange of information

brings theory to life, as you collaborate

to analyze problems and formulate

strategies. Through face-to-face inter-

action, you’ll learn to communicate

effectively with individuals from di-

verse cultural, academic and profes-

sional backgrounds. You’ll learn how

to inspire action among your current

classmates and future colleagues.

And you’ll build strong, lasting rela-

tionships with friends from around

the globe.

CURRICULUM

The UM MBA curriculum provides a framework that accelerates growth. You’ll gain

new perspectives and have the opportunity to prove and polish your leadership

skills. You’ll learn to think critically across subjects, linking your knowledge of man-

agement, economics and marketing with finance, business law and technology.

Your instructors will guide you, encourage you to take chances, and challenge you

to rewrite the rules. In this setting, you’ll learn more than the “right answers,” you’ll

learn to ask the “right questions.”

Stimulating thought. Simulating business.

The curriculum provides a flexible framework for learning. In the classroom — just

as in business — every day is different. As you and your classmates share your

insight, knowledge and values, you’ll shape your individual experience — and your

individual education.

The MBA program is a 56-credit, lock-step program composed of 29 courses.

Twelve of the courses are electives that can be used toward a concentration(s).

Course waivers allow students to substitute an elective course for some, but not

all, required courses. To qualify for a waiver, a student must pass a written exam.

CURRICULUM

Students in the Full-Time MBA Program may be able to complete a concentra-

tion based on completion of required electives.

Areas of concentration include:

Accounting, Computer Information Systems, Finance, International Business,

Management, Management Science (Six Sigma and Management Science

Consulting), and Marketing. Elective offerings are based on class demand.

Accounting

The Department of Accounting offers

an Accounting concentration within

the MBA Program. The Accounting

concentration can be earned by taking

four courses, carrying three semester

hours each, in terms 2-1 and 2-2 of

the second year of the program. This

concentration is intended for those

students who have an undergraduate

major in accounting and want to com-

plete the requirements for the CPA

examination. Other students may be

considered for the concentration pro-

vided they meet the prerequisites and

upon approval of the chairperson of

the accounting department and Grad-

uate Business Programs.

Select four courses from the

following:

ACC 603 Studies in Financial Reporting Issues

ACC 604 Seminar in Cost Accounting

ACC 610 Accounting Theory

ACC 622 Advanced Issues in Auditing

ACC 623 International Accounting and Taxation

ACC 640 Corporations I

ACC 643 Tax Research

ACC 645 Partnerships

ACC 647 Estate and Gift Taxes

Computer Information Systems (CIS)

The growth in the use of information

systems and telecommunications has

created a demand for individuals who

understand such systems and who can

apply them in the corporate environ-

ment. Accordingly, the concentration in

Computer Information Systems is in-

tended to balance the less technical

needs of the manager with the more

technical aspects of the discipline and

thus prepares students for challeng-

ing job opportunities.

The following courses are

required for a CIS concentration:

CIS 612 Enterprise Technologies

CIS 613 Business Intelligence Technologies

CIS 617 Information Technology Project Management

CIS 689 Entrepreneurship: Launching a High-Tech Venture

Finance

The area of finance is focused on

valuation and decision making: what’s

it worth, and what do we do next?

This makes the finance function a

pivotal part of every organization. The

concentration in Finance is designed

to prepare students for jobs in this

exciting career. The concentration is

built on corporate finance, investments

and international finance. Students then

choose from a variety of other electives

to complete the finance program.

The following courses are required

for a Finance concentration:

FIN 650 Financial Investments

FIN 670 Corporate Finance

And three other Finance

electives

International Business

As business becomes highly competi-

tive, domestic and international firms

need to understand the opportunities

available for selling overseas, obtain-

ing supplies from other countries and

using international financial markets.

The following courses are

required for an International

Business concentration:

BSL 692 Legal Implications of International Business Transactions

FIN 660 International Finance

MGT 691 International Management

MKT 645 International Marketing

Management

The concentration in Management

prepares students for job opportuni-

ties that involve managerial responsi-

bilities. The concentration is designed

not merely to prepare students for ca-

reers in management, but to produce

creative thinkers with strong commu-

nication and negotiation skills.

The following courses are

required for a Management

concentration:

MGT 621 High Performance Leadership

MGT 623 Human Resource Systems

And two other Management

electives

PhD Programs

The PhD program at the UM School

of Business Administration equips

participants with the skills and experi-

ence necessary for academic place-

ment in the world’s top research

universities. Degrees are offered in

economics, management science,

management (operations manage-

ment, organizational behavior or

strategy/international business) and

marketing (quantitative modeling or

consumer behavior).

The program is built on the philoso-

phy that the most innovative research

ideas come from integrating theories,

problems and methods across disci-

plines. Doctoral candidates follow

specialized programs of study under

the guidance of a faculty expert. They

have the opportunity to participate

in cross-disciplinary training outside of

business and economics. The program

requires year-round, full-time study.

In addition to stipends and tuition

scholarships, doctoral candidates

receive funding to present their work

at professional conferences where

they can network with students and

faculty from other related PhD pro-

grams. Students are typically prepared

to enter the academic job market

during the fourth year in the program.

Credit Requirements

A minimum of 60 credits of academic

work is required to receive the PhD

degree in Business Administration: 15

credits of core courses, 33 credits of

concentration courses and 12 credits

UM SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

THE SCHOOL

The School of Business Administration

was established in 1929 and the first

Master of Business Administration

degree was offered in 1948. Since

then, the school has grown by leaps

and bounds.

Today, the School of Business Admin-

istration is acclaimed for its rigorous

business curriculum and the truly

global nature of its students and

faculty. In fact, nearly 33 percent of

all students come from outside the

U.S. This diversity not only adds an

invaluable dimension to your learning

experience, it also provides an instant

worldwide network of friends, col-

leagues and contacts.

The School of Business Administration

is housed in a $24 million award-

winning facility. This modern complex

surrounds a tropical courtyard with

picturesque outdoor seating. Here,

you’ll attend class in tiered, stadium-

style classrooms outfitted with high-

speed Internet connections, high-back

leather seats and all the amenities

you’d expect from a top business

school. You’ll have access to a virtual

library, a graduate student lounge,

soundproof study rooms and an ultra-

modern computer lab — all dedicated

to graduate business students.

In the 300-seat auditorium, you’ll ex-

perience insightful lectures from visit-

ing executives, presentations from

students and faculty and expert dis-

cussions from top business leaders.

University of Miami

The University of Miami is a major

research university set in a diverse,

international community. The university

is an independent, private, nonsec-

tarian, nonprofit institution of higher

learning.

The University of Miami traces its

beginnings to 1925 and the origins of

the City of Coral Gables. When the

city’s founder, George E. Merrick,

helped establish the University he

envisioned an institution of higher

learning that would embrace the best

of the Americas. A history of strong

institutional leadership has enabled

that vision to triumph. UM has

established an international presence

in business, medicine, engineering,

law, the marine sciences, international

studies, communications and other

disciplines.

There are over 15,670 degree-seeking

students in approximately 120 under-

graduate, 108 master, 49 doctoral and

two professional areas of study. There

are currently 2,226 full-time faculty

members whose ranks include

Guggenheim Fellows, Fulbright Schol-

ars and National Science Foundation

recipients. Of this distinguished fac-

ulty, 97 percent hold doctorates or

terminal degrees in their fields.

nessee, Texas and Virginia) and in Latin America

for those institutions of higher education that

doctoral degrees. The Commission on Colleges

STUDENT LIFE

If you ask current students and faculty

to describe the University of Miami

community, you’ll hear words like

“friendly” and “diverse,” “focused” and

“driven.” When you step on campus,

you’ll understand what they mean.

At UM, you’ll have unlimited opportu-

nities to build lifelong friendships with

fellow students, professors and alumni.

Graduate Business Student Association

As an MBA student, you’ll automati-

cally be a member of the Graduate

Business Student Association (GBSA).

This student-run organization hosts

professional speakers, organizes so-

cial events and participates in com-

munity service projects. Last year,

members were invited to hear distin-

guished speakers from Cleveland

Clinic Florida, FedEx and other lead-

ing organizations. They held a fund-

raiser for breast cancer research. And

they made the most of their study

breaks with happy hours and social

events in nearby Coconut Grove,

downtown Miami and South Beach.

Professional Organizations and MBA Clubs

Many of your fellow students will have

different backgrounds, interests and

talents. However, there is one thing

you’ll all have in common: a passion

for business. Whether your niche is

marketing or finance, economics or

entrepreneurship, you’ll have ample

opportunities to get involved in indus-

try-related clubs and professional or-

ganizations.

STUDENT LIFE

Wall Street Week in The Big Apple

Each year during Wall Street Week,

members of the MBA Finance and

Investment Banking Club travel to

New York City. The four-day trip

has included visits to firms such as

ING Wholesale Americas and BNY

ConvergEx, and passes to the World

Business Forum. Students have also

visited the New York Mercantile

Exchange and in 2007 attended the

first live broadcast of CNBC’s Fast

Money. UM students were later

invited to be part of the audience

during a live broadcast of Fast Money

in Coral Gables.

Social and Philanthropic Organizations

Our students are well-rounded lead-

ers with a wide range of interests.

And with more than 200 campus-

wide clubs and organizations, you’ll

have plenty of opportunities to get in-

volved. Join an intramural sports

team, launch a new club, join a phil-

anthropic project or serve on a cam-

pus committee. You’ll see first-hand

how your newly acquired leadership

skills can make a difference — not

only in business, but in everything

you do.

Mentor Program

The Mentor Program is designed to

enhance your classroom experience

and smooth your transition into the

workplace. Enrolled graduate students

with a 3.0 grade point average or

higher are eligible to apply for the

program. Applications are distributed

and accepted each summer.

Once accepted, you’ll be matched

with a corporate representative or an

entrepreneur working in your area of

interest. You’ll meet with your mentor

throughout the year and gain a better

understanding of corporate culture,

career direction and networking.

You’ll also be invited to attend special

roundtable discussions where a group

of mentors will share their perspec-

tives on a particular industry.

CITY OF MIAMI

The city of Miami is a thriving gate-

way between the U.S., Latin America,

Europe and the Caribbean. With its

modern office towers, gleaming

rapid-transit rails, luxury hotels and

busy air and seaports, the metropolis

is a bustling hub for multinational

trade, commerce, and culture.

Today, Miami is the city of choice for

banking, legal and telecom profes-

sionals, and attracts many Fortune

500® companies. More than 1,000 multi-

national corporations have divisions

in Miami and over 78,000 businesses

are located in the Miami metropolitan

area. Additionally, 399 banks or banking

divisions, 25 foreign trade offices,

69 consulates and 35 bi-national

chambers of commerce make Miami

their home. And the opportunities

only get better: Miami-Dade County

is now leading the nation in new

business growth according the U.S.

Department of Commerce.

Arts, Culture and Recreation

From the vibrant village of Coconut

Grove and the art deco district

of South Beach, to the natural beauty

of Key Biscayne and the lush land-

scape of the Florida Keys — Miami

is a sub-tropical paradise with end-

less options.

APPLYING

Admission to the University of Miami

School of Business Administration is

selective. Because much of the UM

MBA experience is driven by student

interaction, we look at more than our

applicants’ GPAs and GMAT scores.

We look for leaders — with varied

experience, from all backgrounds.

Candidates are judged on their lead-

ership abilities, accomplishments,

life experiences, full-time work expe-

rience and, of course, academic

excellence. If you’re successful per-

sonally and academically, we encour-

age you to apply.

Application Deadlines

Please visit www.bus.miami.edu

for the most up-to-date application

deadlines. Early application submis-

sion is recommended for those

requesting a graduate assistantship,

scholarship or fellowship. Awards are

limited and are decided well in ad-

vance of the start of classes.

The Complete Application

We encourage you to apply online

at www.bus.miami.edu/grad. Please

read the instructions carefully before
