4 MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PACE UNIVERSITY LUBIN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS The master of business administration degree is conferred on those men and women who successfully complete one of the programs described on the following pages. These programs have evolved over a period of years and reflect the increasing demand for professional education in private industry, government and the nonprofit sector. Building on those areas of study in which the University has its strongest faculty and academic resources, the M.B.A. program of the Lubin School of Business has developed 10 career concentrations. The offerings include: Accounting International Economics Executive Management* Financial Management Information Systems International Business Management Marketing Management Management Science Taxation The Lubin School of Business in New York City offers programs leading to the M.B.A. degree in each of the career concentrations listed above. In White Plains, the Lubin School of Business offers accounting, financial management, information systems, international business, management, management science, and marketing management. Students may enroll for courses at any campus and all credits earned at any campus of the University are transferable. MBA LEARNING GOALS Applying theory to business practice is the essence of the Lubin School of Business M.B.A. program. Starting with the knowledge and skills they have on entry, students develop and apply new knowledge and skills in: Collecting, analyzing, and evaluating global business data Using business data and ethical principles in decision making Focusing on customers Communicating effectively with others Working independently and in teams Negotiating and managing conflict Anticipating and facilitating change By the end of their program, graduates will have: Mastered key business concepts, principles, and tools Developed a specialty within the broad field of business Used their cross-disciplinary knowledge and skills to solve realistic business problems for the benefit of their current or future customers and organizations Increased their potential as managers and business professionals * A Web Assisted M.B.A. Degree Program for Executives L-2 THE M.B.A. CURRICULUM The curriculum has been designed to provide the student with a knowledge of the principles that are fundamental to the operation of all business organizations, as well as advanced knowledge in a specialized field. The major components of the curriculum follow. Prerequisite Skills We assume students are proficient in computer fundamentals, business communication skills and basic quantitative methods. Students who do not meet the Business Communication proficiency are required to pass the skill course listed below and, to maximize their educational experience, should take this course before registering for additional courses in the master s program. Students who lack proficiency in computer fundamentals or basic algebra will be provided appropriate information, process, and materials that will enable them to improve these skills. Computer Applications All degree candidates are required to demonstrate knowledge of computer fundamentals, the personal computer, an operating system, and a proficiency in the use of specific spreadsheet applications, such as Microsoft Excel. Students may be asked to withdraw from courses in the Core and advanced course-work if they do not possess the computer proficiency necessary for success in the course. We provide all enrolled students with a self-assessment and self study workbook and CD ROM, which covers EXCEL and basic quantitative skills before the start of their first semester. Business Communications The objectives of the Business Communications Program (BCP) are to assess and refine the management communication skills all students need for success at Lubin and in the business world. All degree candidates must complete the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) portion of the GMAT. Students are evaluated on their ability to analyze and solve problems, present a logical argument, develop a business strategy and use proper English. A student whose grade on the AWA demonstrates weaknesses in writing is required to complete and pass a seven-week, pass/fail course in Business Communications (BUS 043). The focus of this course is on writing within a business environment: effective style and strategy, clear expressions and logical organization of information. Students are required to pass this course by the end of their second semester of study. Students for whom English is a second language may be required to also take the English Language Proficiency exam and complete and pass Business Writing for International Students (ENG 040) in place of BUS 043. Depending on the results of the English Language Proficiency Exam administered by the English Department, certain students may be required to take ELI 084A English Skills for Graduate Studies, and /or ELI 084s Speaking and Listening, before taking ENG 040. ELI 084A and ELI 084S are non-credit courses offered by the English Language Institute. After successful completion of the ELI courses, students may either enroll in ENG 040 or attempt to pass the Business Writing Exam. A consulting team of communication specialists is available in the BCP office to assist all students who seek help preparing research projects, term papers, case analyses and oral class presentations.

5 Quantitative Skills The Lubin School of Business assumes all students have a proficiency in basic quantitative skills (the ability to manipulate and understand symbols in a manner similar to that achieved in a college algebra course). Students may be asked to drop courses in the Core and advanced course-work if they do not possess the quantitative proficiency necessary for success in the course. We provide all enrolled students with a self-assessment and self study CD ROM, which covers EXCEL and basic quantitative skills before the start of their first semester. Core Requirements The Core is designed to prepare students with the analytical skills and managerial perspective necessary to perform at a high level in the more advanced and specialized components of the M.B.A. program. The Core provides a conceptually integrated framework that furnishes students with analytical tools relevant to a broad range of management problems and helps student enhance their skills in business management. These core courses are considered essential to the education of future executives regardless of the area of business management they pursue. The Core: MBA 620 Organizational Behavior and Leadership MBA 622 Marketing and Electronic Business MBA 624 Financial and Managerial Accounting MBA 626 Business Economics MBA 628 Business Statistics and Modeling MBA 630 Operations and Quality Management MBA 632 Managerial Finance MBA 688 Business Strategy and Stakeholder Responsibility The required Core courses in the accounting CPA program and the taxation program vary slightly from the above list. Please refer to the appropriate sections of the catalog that discuss the course requirements for these programs. The courses in the Core therefore should be completed on a prerequisite basis before enrolling in the advanced areas of the M.B.A. program. Core courses will not satisfy upper-level degree requirements. However, these courses are included in the student s cumulative quality point average within the graduate program of the Lubin School of Business. The Organizational Behavior and Leadership course increases the managerial effectiveness of students through experiential exercises, gives them the tools to increase their repertory of leadership skills and develop the self awareness and respect for others necessary to lead, follow and communicate effectively. The Operation and Quality Management course provides the skills necessary to critically analyze a firm's operating performance and practices, and emphasizes the vital role that process and product quality play in determining a company s global competitiveness. All students are required to complete a capstone course, Business Strategy and Stakeholder Responsibility. In this course, students are introduced to the different aspects of strategic decision-making. It integrates the knowledge, skills, and attitudes acquired in other courses and in prior experience to develop practical general management policies. The Career Concentration Courses The Pace M.B.A. program recognizes the need for functional expertise in business education so that the student becomes well prepared to handle the rigorous and challenging problems that occur in managerial situations. Accordingly, Lubin School of Business graduate students specialize in a functional discipline. Such specialization also allows them to pursue individual interests and objectives. With the exception of the accounting and taxation programs, students complete 15 credits of specialization courses. The Breadth Elective Requirement MBA students are required to take 9 credits in advanced level course work outside of their career concentration but within the Lubin School, three credits of which must be in the area of International Business. These courses should be taken only if the appropriate prerequisites are completed. These courses enable students to explore related interests and provide breadth to the M.B.A program. It is strongly advised that all students consult with their advisor before selecting out-of-major electives. Students are not permitted to substitute Core courses or their discipline courses (i.e. any courses with the same prefix as their major) for breadth electives outside of the discipline. Transfer Credit and Residency Requirements Each candidate must satisfy the residency requirement of the Lubin School of Business in order to qualify for an advanced degree. Students are required to successfully complete a minimum of 46 credits in residence at the University. A maximum of two graduate courses (six credits) from another institution may be applied toward a master s degree as transfer credit. Courses equivalent in content and credit hours to ones in the students program of study may be accepted if they have been completed with a minimum grade of B at another regionally accredited graduate school within eight years of their acceptance to the Lubin School. If a course previously completed is not equivalent to a course in the student s program, transfer credit may be granted for a career concentration elective requirement on the recommendation of the chair of the student s program. A student must meet the minimum requirement of 52 graduate credits, 46 of which must be completed in the Lubin School of Business and 6 of which may be transferred from another graduate business program. M.B.A. candidates are expected to complete course work in at least three areas within the graduate program of the Lubin School of Business: Core, Career Concentration courses and Breadth Electives. Substitution Approval Newly admitted students within their first year of matriculation may apply to have a core course substituted, without examination, provided they: (1) As an undergraduate, majored in a the same field as the core course, (2) received their degree within five years of being matriculated in the MBA program, and (3) took a minimum of 24 credits in that undergraduate major field. This policy is applied to all core courses except MBA 620 and MBA 688, for which there are no substitutions. The application for substitution without examination must be made to the Lubin School of Business Office of Graduate Academic Advisement, which will be the sole determinant of whether a substitution is appropriate*. If appropriate, a professional advisor in the Office of Graduate Academic Advisement will determine the course to be used L-3

6 as a substitute. This substitution will be made in such a way to ensure breadth of the program. * If multiple substitutions are made, it is possible that some 4-credit courses will be replaced by 3-credit courses. If this is the case, a student may complete the program as outlined with less than 52 credits. However, no student will receive the MBA degree without completing a minimum of 51 credits. Methods of Instruction Methods of instruction are varied and include lectures, conferences, case study, role-playing, group projects, computer simulation, and combinations of these and other techniques that are appropriate to the effective presentation of the subject matter. It is the general policy of the Lubin School to limit class size in order to encourage active student involvement. DUAL CONCENTRATION M.B.A. A dual concentration M.B.A. is available for those students who wish to do advanced work in two career concentrations. In this program, the student may choose, in consultation with faculty advisors in each subject area, to combine work in two of the available M.B.A. career concentration areas. Beyond the Core, students choosing dual concentrations must take five courses (15 credits) in each career concentration area (other than Accounting or Taxation), plus one course in International Business (INB prefixed). This includes the required course for each major plus approved electives. A dual concentration M.B.A., therefore requires nine credits more than a conventional M.B.A. Because the CPA Accounting and Taxation programs are designed differently from the other M.B.A. programs, students selecting one or both of these programs will need an individualized Dual Concentration program that may require additional course work. If a student majors in two fields that require the Research Project as a career concentration course, the student is required to complete only one Research Project that integrates both fields. The student decides, with faculty guidance, on the field in which to register for the project and is required to complete a three-credit elective in the other major. If an advanced course fulfills a career concentration requirement in both majors of a dual concentration, the course can be applied toward one major only, and the student must seek substitution approval to complete a three-credit elective within the other major. The course may NOT double-count toward both career concentrations. The following courses are necessary for a dual concentration in two M.B.A. fields other than CPA Accounting and Taxation: Credits Core 28 Career Concentration 1 15 Career Concentration 2 15 INB Elective 3 Total 61 L-4

7 CAREER CONCENTRATIONS PACE UNIVERSITY LUBIN SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ACCOUNTING Department Chair: Rudolph Jacob, B.B.A., M.Phil., Ph.D. Program Chair: Lewis Schier, B.A., M.S., Ph.D. M.B.A. PROGRAMS CPA Preparation The scope of the services rendered by certified public accountants is constantly broadening, as business activities expand and become more complex. Since the affairs of all business must be financed, conducted, measured, and monetarily controlled, the only limitations on expansion of the public accountant s services are the limits on expansion of business itself. This program has been designed for the liberal arts, science, engineering or general business administration degree holder who wishes to prepare for the CPA profession. It is not open to students with undergraduate degrees in accounting. This program has been registered by the New York State Education Department, Division of Professional Education, as meeting the accounting educational requirements for admission to the CPA examinations.

10 INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS Department Chair: Dan Baugher B.A., M.A., Ph.D. Program Chair: Linda M. Sama B.A., M.B.A., M.Phil., Ph.D. M.B.A. PROGRAMS International Business The growing importance of international business requires executives to bring to the task of leading and managing global organizations an understanding of the international business environment and the ability to formulate and implement a global business strategy. The Lubin international business curriculum integrates advanced functional area knowledge with essential elements of managing business internationally, emphasizing the differences and similarities in the economies and cultures that make up the global environment. The purpose of this concentration is to understand effective organizational adaptation to global change. Complexities of the macro environment of international business are explored with a focus on how socio-cultural, economic, political and technological systems converge and interrelate to impact worldwide operations of the firm. Leading edge issues in international business are addressed in courses flexibly designed to accommodate an ever-changing global field. Participating faculty lend multi-functional and multi-regional expertise to the program. International business majors, in addition to their required career concentration courses, select two courses from a menu of career concentration electives. Given the increasing dynamism and complexity of practice in the field, the program may elect to enhance the career concentration elective options through new course offerings or through substitutions, the latter of which may be approved for individual students upon consultation with the program chair. International Business Degree Requirements Core 28 Required Career Concentration Courses 9 INB 640 Business in the Global Environment INB 665 Comparative Business Systems and Cross-Cultural Management INB 666 Global Business Strategy and Operations PanAm Economic Integration Track The PanAmerican Partnership for Business Education is currently made up of four North American business schools--the Lubin School of Business, the École des Hautes Études Commerciales (HEC)/Montréal, the Faculty of Management, Dalhousie University/Halifax, and the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey/Monterrey, Mexico. The Partnership is a world-class business training program-broadly based, deeply institutionalized, and enduring-that is focused on preparing the next generation of North American managers for leadership roles. Each PanAm Partner school has created a PanAm "track" in its MBA programs. The tracks all share the same core content, although they differ in detail. Students enrolled in this track must successfully complete three courses specific to Pan American concerns and attend the joint four-school collaborative meeting, typically held in New York City in the early summer. This ten-day meeting incorporates intense classroom work, visits to firms and government agencies and talks by leading business, finance and government figures. Students who complete the track requirements will receive a document attesting to their accomplishment issued by the Partnership in the name of all four schools. At Lubin, the following three courses, plus two additional INB electives currently constitute this track: INB 650 incorporates the collaborative ten-day meeting in New York City INB 665 a special section of which will be offered concentrating on business systems in the Western Hemisphere INB 692 a special section designed to perform collaborative research with students from partnership schools on Pan Americanrelated topics Career Concentration Electives 6 (Two courses from the following:) INB 650 Pan American Economic Integration INB 668 Legal and Regulatory Aspects of International Business INB 670 Advanced Topics in International Business INB 673 International Human Resource Management INB 692 Research Project Breadth Electives 9 Total Credits 52 Students may elect to follow a special track in PanAm Economic Integration, which is offered in New York City only.

11 MANAGEMENT Department Chair: Dan Baugher, B.A., M.S., Ph.D. Graduate Program Chair: Alan Eisner, B.S., M.Eng., Ph.D. M.B.A. PROGRAMS Management In a dynamic global environment, strategic analysis at all levels of an organization is becoming increasingly important. The Lubin School was one of the first graduate programs in the country to offer a major in strategic management in The strategic management track now offers more flexibility and electives than ever before. We have built on that leadership position by adding a track in Entrepreneurial Studies. In addition, we have revised the human resources management track to reflect the future needs in the practice community with three new courses: Employment Law, International Human Resources, and Recruitment and Staffing. This new Human Resources curriculum is more flexible, while balancing theory and practices. Our curriculum objectives are to present powerful theoretical constructs, analytical methods and decision processes so that students can help organizations plan and implement strategic change. Students who major in management usually have launched careers beyond entry-level positions and seek to prepare for broader responsibilities. They recognize that the technical skills, which supported earlier promotions, will not be sufficient for future advancement. Management majors select from five educational tracks or emphases: strategic management; innovation, technology, and quality management, human resources management, organizational behavior and entrepreneurial studies. All tracks and courses are available in New York City and Westchester. Students may request the program chair for substitution of required or elective courses within any of these tracks. STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT The concentration in strategic management prepares students for multi-functional line responsibilities and for staff planning assignments in business firms. Line responsibility requires managerial maturity and experience, which can be enhanced through formal curricula. Planning assignments may include preparing environmental and industry analysis studies, investigating business opportunities and making strategic assessments.

Program Chair: Albert Kalter, B.B.A., J.D., L.L.M., CPA M.B.A. PROGRAM Taxation (Offered on the New York Campus Only) To an increasing degree, a broad range of federal, state, and local laws affect managerial decisions. Transcending most commercial activities are those laws, particularly federal, which stem from the power of the government to levy taxes. The complexity of these laws and the constancy of their change have produced the need for technically qualified specialists to guide and counsel management. It has also become critical for management to recognize tax problems and to determine how best to utilize the services of tax specialists. The Master of Business Administration program in Taxation is designed to combine the study of management, finance, and economics with specialized study in the filed of taxation. Instruction in taxation is conducted by a carefully selected faculty with an extensive background and specialized experience in tax law. Students interested in an intensive approach to the study of taxation should refer to the Master of Science in Taxation degree program.

The major components of the M.S. Curriculum follow: Preliminary Skills Courses We assume all students, before applying for the Master of Science degree, are proficient in computer fundamentals, business communication skills, and basic quantitative methods. Students who do not meet the Business Communication proficiency are required to pass the proficiency course BUS 043 Business Communications. To maximize their educational experience, students should take this course before registering for additional courses in the master s program. Business Communication All degree candidates must complete the Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) portion of the GMAT. Students are evaluated on their ability to analyze and solve problems, present a logical argument, develop a business strategy and use proper English. A student whose grade on the AWA demonstrates weaknesses in writing is required to complete and pass a seven-week, pass/fail course in Business Communications (BUS 043). The focus of this course is on writing within a business environment: effective style and strategy, clear expressions and logical organization of information. Students are required to pass this course by the end of their second semester of study. Students for whom English is a second language may be required to also take the English Language Proficiency exam and complete and pass Business Writing for International Students (ENG 040) in place of BUS 043. Depending on the results of the English Language Proficiency Exam administered by the English Department, certain students may be required to take ELI 084A English Skills for Graduate Studies, and /or ELI 084s Speaking and Listening, before taking ENG 040. ELI 084A and ELI 084S are non-credit courses offered by the English Language Institute. After successful completion of the ELI courses, students may either enroll in ENG 040 or attempt to pass the Business Writing Exam. A consulting team of communication specialists is available in the BCP office to assist all students who seek help preparing research projects, term papers, case analyses and oral class presentations. Prerequisite Courses Prerequisite courses are specific to each M.S. concentration and introduce students to the analytical and managerial skills necessary for the advanced components of the M.S. program.
