Master of Business Administration - Operations and Supply Chain Management

California State University - Fullerton

The College of Business and Economics holds dual accreditation in Business Administration and Accounting from AACSB International, the premier accrediting body for university-level business programs in the world. We are the only university in Orange County, and one of five in California, to hold this prestigious level of dual accreditation. Our accreditation guarantees that students receive a high quality education, delivered by the most qualified faculty, all from a college that has met the highest standards in business education. Degree Requirements: Students with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration may be able to complete the program with a minimum of 40 units of adviser-approved coursework. However, students with little or no recent coursework in Business Administration and have not met the university writing requirement may require 45 total units of advisor-approved coursework. A minimum 3.0 GPA (''B'') is required in study plan courses and overall applicable coursework. Any study plan course with a grade lower than ''C'' (2.0) must be repeated and passed with a ''C'' (2.0) or better. Required (19-24 units): The M.B.A. program at CSUF presumes that all students demonstrate proficiency in the topics covered by the following business core, which consist of 19-24 units of coursework. These courses must be at the 500 level. All specific required courses are determined by faculty advisers within the College of Business and Economics, who make decisions about core coursework equivalency. Based on a student’s previous coursework, faculty advisers may waive a maximum of 3 units of required core. If additional required core coursework is found to be equivalent, CBE faculty advisers may approve a substitution of a 500-level course in the same discipline. Consideration for equivalency may only be provided if the proposed equivalent courses are no more than seven years old and the student has achieved a ''C'' (2.0) or better with an overall GPA of 3.0 (''B''). Each student in the M.B.A. program must complete an adviser-approved study plan. Operations and Supply Chain Management Concentration (18 units): The primary objective is to identify and understand how the efficient and effective management of all operational efforts within the firm contributes to customer value. Tactical decisions such as process design, planning and control, and project management are the basis for broader quality and supply management systems. Collectively, these must contribute to an overarching operations strategy that must be aligned with its competitive strategy and environment to deliver a clear, distinctive competitive advantage.
