3. Electives
In addition to required courses — and in order to provide meaningful options, added breadth, greater diversity, and positive enrichment — a variety of elective courses will be scheduled as demand requires and resources permit. Any concentration course can be used as an elective.

In this challenging and rewarding course, you'll pull everything you've learned together as you team up with your classmates to run your own company in a competitive simulation experience.
