advisers for each of the established area(s) of study. These advisers assist students in
planning appropriate programs.

Course Requirements
The three required elements of the M.B.A. program are the
management core, the advanced electives, and the Applied Management Research project. The
management core courses teach the fundamental techniques and disciplines which underlie
the practice of management. Advanced electives provide specialized knowledge and skills
for one or more fields (typically two) of management work. The management field study
allows an opportunity to apply knowledge gained in the program to strategic issues in real
organizations. A total of 96 units of coursework is required for the degree.
Management Core. The management core
consists of ten courses on subjects basic to the practice of management. These courses
include one course on the management of human resources in organizations (Management 409)
and nine courses in technical and functional fields (Management 402, 403, 405, 408, 410,
411A, 411B, 420, and 430). Students must maintain a 3.0 (B) overall average in the
management core courses.
Applied Management Research Project. A
two-term project in the second year, Applied Management Research is the final,
professional requirement of the M.B.A. program. Teams of M.B.A. students complete an
original applied research project that integrates and expands students' capacity to solve
complex business problems. Each team chooses a project from among three options: (1)
Management Field Study, (2) Business Creation, or (3) Special Project.
Advanced Electives. These courses are
chosen by students to focus on one or more fields of specialization within the broad realm
of management. Eleven of these electives must be selected from management curriculum area
or interdisciplinary studies courses. Management 404, 406, 407, and 412, formerly part of
the management core, may be taken as advanced electives. Three electives may be selected
from any University department, subject only to general University regulations. These free
electives normally must be taken while enrolled in the program. They may support or
complement the remainder of the program of study. A maximum of two four-unit Management
596 courses may be applied toward the 96-unit requirement for the degree. These courses
count as free electives. Fieldwork courses (Management 451, 452, 453, 454, and 457) are
offered for unit credit, but these courses will not be applied toward the 96-unit
requirement.
At least 96 units of work toward the degree must be completed in
residence in the full time MBA program at UCLA. In special cases, up to 12 units of
graduate work taken elsewhere and not used toward another degree may, via petition, be
counted toward the 96-unit total.

Comprehensive Examination Plan

admission. The minimum time required to complete the M.B.A. program is six quarters.
