The primary purpose of the academic advising program is to assist you in the development of meaningful educational plans that are compatible with your life goals and professional career. Although the ultimate responsibility for making decisions about educational plans and life goals rests with you, the academic advisor will assist you with identifying and assessing alternatives.

You will receive an invitation to the MBA/MSFE Program Orientation where you will meet faculty, staff, administrators, and second-year students and receive important information about your program.

The Management curriculum is designed around a mandatory core platform of eight sequenced courses and 28-30 elective units. Many of the elective courses have prerequisite requirements.

An Area of Concentration consists of twelve related elective units. Each elective course is assigned to one or more areas of concentration. The Management Program currently offers Areas of Concentration in Strategy, Finance, Marketing, Leadership, Global Management, and Entrepreneurship.

A listing of courses and their corresponding syllabi can be found by going to For Current Students on the left side bar of the Graduate School of Management home page.

The fall semester begins in late August and the spring semester begins in late January. Classes are offered during the summer in two seven-week terms. Summer Semester I begins in mid-May and Summer Semester II begins in mid-July.

The fall and spring semesters are 14 weeks long and are divided into two seven-week modules (Module 1 and Module 2). Four-unit classes meet once a week for three hours for 14 weeks. Two-unit classes meet for only 7 weeks. Because the summer semesters are only seven weeks long, four-unit classes meet twice a week for three hours.

Every student receives a campus e-mail address.
It follows this format: firstname.lastname@cgu.edu

— New students are automatically assigned a cgu.edu email account at the beginning
of their first semester. The account access information is distributed by the
academic department (usually at the department's orientation session).

— Any student who prefers to use a personal or work email account must have the
cgu.edu email account forwarded to that preferred account. You can do this with the
help of OIT (Office of Information Technology).

— The helpdesk is located in ACB 109 or you can visit one of the student labs for
assistance. Please make sure to have with you your student ID card containing a
current semester sticker on the back.

You are responsible for purchasing your own textbooks, case packets and/or course packs, and other supplemental documents. You can purchase most of your required materials at the Huntley Bookstore, which is located on campus at the corner of Dartmouth and Eighth Street.

Of course you are free to purchase your textbooks wherever you like, but be sure that you purchase your books in a timely manner because in many cases there is assigned reading before the first day of classes.
