About the Course:                                                                                

This course is considered the capstone course of the MBA/MAc program. As such, emphasis is placed on your ability to integrate what you have learned in your management, marketing, finance, economics and accounting courses into a business decision making construct.  A very important part of the course is the capstone project in which you will be assigned for critical analysis a well known company selected by your professors.  This capstone project will be a team project in which the team will be required to research the company and make oral and written reports that should integrate successful business principles that you have learned throughout your graduate program.   These concepts should be brought together successfully in the capstone project.  The course is equally divided into qualitative and quantitative concepts and is taught by two professors.  In order for one to do well in this course,  s(he) must satisfy the requirements of both professors because the qualitative and quantitative sections carry equal weight in the grading system.
