MBA Electives

Customize your MBA to your career goals with the electives you choose. The Suffolk MBA offers electives across a variety of functional areas.

In Boston, electives meet once per week in the evening: 4:30 to 7:10 pm or 7:15 to 9:55 pm. Many working professionals take two courses in one evening. Many full-time students take advantage of this schedule and participate in an internship or co-op during the day.

Within electives, you may choose one of twelve concentrations. Alternatively, simply select electives from any of the areas below, increasing your managerial skill set.

* A limited but diverse selection of electives are offered at our North Campus location and Online. All Suffolk MBAs have the option of enrolling in Suffolk MBA classes at all of our locations and Online, thereby adding flexibility to their scheduling and increasing their course selection menu.
