Integrative Modules

Students are taught in an integrated curriculum, teaching that attempts to break down barriers between subjects and make learning more meaningful to students. Major concepts are culled from these broad themes, and activities are planned that teach or inform of these concepts. One can see how integrated curriculum requires accessing knowledge from all of the traditional subjects without labeling them as such. In addition, integrated curriculum adds problem-solving, real-world application and social consciousness to the learning process, making it a more comprehensive way of educating and of learning.

Edwards MBA students are required to complete a series of modules that will focus on the integration of curricula from a suite of courses.  These integrative modules will use a case method approach, including instruction, discussion, analysis, presentation, and writing. 

Scheduled at various points throughout the program, these modules provide opportunities to integrate and apply the knowledge gained in functional areas.  Each module is a building block within the program utilizing concepts learned to that point, leading to the final module which integrates the expanse of the Edwards MBA curriculum.

The course will be a blend of short lectures, in-class case analysis and discussion as well as both group and individual case analysis. Deliverables will consist of discussion case analysis hand-ins, class group presentations and written case analysis for all modules and an individual written case analysis for the final module.
