Below are recommended courses for students interested in this career path. They are unofficial tracks that will not be included on the student's diploma.
MBA programs help students learn the necessary skills to start and/or manage a business. Most programs require students to have two to five years of work experience before applying.
Undergraduate economics students who plan to pursue an MBA in the future would benefit from doing the following:
- Complete at least one internship
- Get involved with business school clubs here
- Graduate with at least one business-related minor (Business, Global Business & Literacy, Nonprofit Management, Strategy)
