MBA Program Specializations
If you’d like to not only customize your coursework but achieve a specialization as part of your degree as well, Capital has options. You can specialize in entrepreneurship, finance, leadership or marketing by focusing your elective credit hours in one of these areas. You can declare a specialization at any point prior to graduation, as long as you satisfy the program requirements. Specializations will be noted on your transcript.
