Elective Courses (MBA / IMBA / MPA / Post-MBA)



INTRODUCTION


The choice of electives to complete a Schulich degree program is entirely up to the student (respecting co-requisite and prerequisite requirements). Students are not required to choose a major. Instead, they are encouraged to select those electives that best suit their backgrounds and career interests. For a further discussion of using electives to develop one or more areas of expertise, see Area and Program Information. Each of the 19 areas lists available study options, including developing a concentration in a functional or program area; completing a Graduate Diploma program concurrently with a degree program, or taking a specialized degree program (e.g. the Master of Public Administration).

Note: 1.Students cannot take electives until the MBA 1 5100-series Required Foundations of Management Core Courses have been completed.
2. Most electives have either co-requisite or prerequisite requirements.
3. Certain functional areas and programs require that students use the one MBA 1 elective slot to enrol in the introductory course of their respective specializations (concentration or Diploma Programs). Check Area and Program Information.
4. Students also have the opportunity to apply to take Schulich Individual Study 6900-series courses, and non-Schulich Elective Courses outside the School (see below).
5. Normally, a maximum of one 3.0 credit hour cross-listed elective can count towards two concentrations.



SCHULICH INDIVIDUAL STUDY 6900-SERIES


Note:1. For information on the special steps necessary to enrol in such electives, see 'Enrolment in Individual Study' on the Enrolment & Registration pages.

In addition to registering in regular Schulich elective courses, a student may also work with an individual faculty member on a topic of mutual interest. They are normally supervised by a tenured or tenure track faculty member and if the supervisor is a part-time or contract instructor, a full time faculty member must co-sign the forms. These studies are co-designed by the student and the faculty member based on:

a.learning objectives
b.means of achieving these objectives
c.method of evaluation

The purpose of an Individual Study is not to replace existing courses and should be designed to have minimal overlap with existing or previously taken courses. The workload is equivalent to a course of the same credits. Students are advised to give careful thought to the title that they use to describe the course since it will appear on their transcript.

A student may take a maximum of 6.0 credit hours of Individual Study courses for degree credit.

Individual Study courses are coded as XXXX 6900 X.XX. The initial XXXX portion of the course code uses the functional area or program a faculty member is associated with, while the final X.XX indicated whether the course is worth 3.00 or 1.50 credit hours (e.g. FINE 6900 3.00 or BSUS 6900 1.50).

NON-SCHULICH ELECTIVES


Note:1. The maximum number of elective courses taken outside Schulich for which credit is given is the equivalent of 6.0 credit-hours. Application for taking courses outside Schulich should be submitted well in advance of course start date, as authorization from Schulich and the external Faculty/School is required. Undergraduate courses are not credited towards Schulich graduate degrees.
2. Post-MBA Diploma Students may not take courses outside of the Schulich School of Business.

Elective Courses at other York Faculties:
In addition to electives offered within Schulich, students can seek permission from the Director of Student Services and International Relations to take the equivalent of 6.0 credit-hours of courses in other graduate faculties at York, including those offered by the Faculty of Environmental Studies, the Faculty of Fine Arts, the Faculty of Arts (e.g. Economics, Mathematics) and Osgoode Hall Law School.

Elective Courses at other Graduate Schools:
In addition to electives offered within Schulich, students can seek permission from the Director of Student Services to take the equivalent of 6.0 credit-hours of courses at other graduate schools (outside York University).
