McCombs' Full-Time MBA program immerses you in academic rigor, discovery, and forging lasting bonds with peers. Classes take place at Rowling Hall on UT Austin's campus, with a customizable curriculum offering 20 specialization areas, including 14 STEM-certified options.
In today's cutthroat business world, success hinges on strategic planning and innovative thinking to outperform rivals. The Strategy and Innovation concentration delves into these essential leadership competencies. Its coursework provides the tools and frameworks needed to develop winning strategies and drive innovation amid rapidly changing, competitive markets with limited resources.
This specialization prepares students for leadership roles or consulting careers across both established companies and startups. Since strategic thinking and innovation are vital across industries, students might combine this concentration with interdisciplinary focuses like Entrepreneurship, Global Business, or Social Enterprise, or pair it with functional specializations in Accounting, Finance, IROM, or Marketing.
