Curriculum Technical Review Completed Date

The MBA program has three pathways: General MBA, MBA with an option in Project Management, and

MBA with an option in Enterprise Information Systems.

This "minor change" request relates only to the MBA with an option in Enterprise information systems

(EIS). There are two categories of changes being made:

• Streamlining of the prerequisites required for the MBA option in EIS (eliminate MINS 350) ' • Correcting the set of elective courses for the MBA option in EIS (Add MINS 523).

Prerequisites:

There are currently three prerequisite courses specifically related to the MBA EIS option. In discussions

with the faculty, and their interactions with their department advisory board, it has been determined

that only two out of the three courses add value for MBA students in the EIS option. We are proposing

the elimination of MINS 350 from the list of required prerequisites.

Elective Courses:

A course that is being taught in Spring 2017 (MINS 523: ERP: System Admin 2) is a highly relevant and

applicable class for students pursuing the MBA EIS option. It was not previously included on the list of

elective courses for the MBA EIS option. We would like to correct this oversight.

These changes are shown (in red ink) on the attached catalog copy.
