All students must register in BUSI 5998: MBA Skills Workshop during their program. BUSI 5998 is a mandatory, non-credit course which includes professional development content and deliverables. It can be taken in any term; students must complete all deliverables in the term in which they register in the course in order to receive a grade of SAT.

Please see the Registration page for information.

Course maps are provided as registration guides, but students are not required to follow a pre-designed course map.

If you are planning out your own program, or deviating from a course map, you can use this guide to help you plan out your program.

If you are receiving an error when attempting to register, you can submit a registration override request, which will be reviewed by our department. Instructions on how to submit this type of request can be found on the Registrar’s webpage: https://carleton.ca/registration/override-requests/

A list of course requirements based on your program can be found here: https://sprott.carleton.ca/online-mba-program-structure-and-variations/ 

A list of current course offerings can be accessed here: https://sprott.carleton.ca/current-students/online-mba-students/online-mba-course-offerings/ . This list includes credit value, course type (core or concentration) and pre-requisite information.

Students within a concentration program require 1.0 credit of elective courses, while no-concentration students require 3.25 credits.

If you are in a concentration, your electives can be chosen from the courses within the other two concentrations, as long as you meet any pre-requisites. For example, if you are in the Financial Management concentration, you can choose your electives from any of the Management and Change or Business Analytics concentration courses.

If you do not have a concentration, your electives can be chosen from any concentration course, or any course that is not a core course, as long as you meet any pre-requisites.

The Course Offerings for each term will list any pre-requisites.

Yes, you can. You will have an elective requirement to meet for your program (either 1.0 credit or 3.25 credits). This value can be achieved through any combination of 0.25 or 0.5 credit elective options. Please keep in mind your term registration limits if you are replacing a 0.25 credit elective with a 0.5 credit elective. You may need to adjust other courses on your map accordingly to stay within your registration credit limit.
