Additional section of BAMS 523 Managerial Decision Modeling and Analytics added in P6

Posted on by

In response to high student demand we have added another section of BAMS 523 Managerial Decision Modeling and Analytics in Period 6.

The module will be taught on Mon/Wed from 8am-10am in HA 045C, by the same instructor as section 001 – Steven Shechter.

We have updated the schedule to show this change and posted it online – you will find it on Connect or the Current Students website.

BAMS 523 002 will be open for registration as of Friday morning – it has to refresh overnight in the SSC system in order to be visible to students. Those students on the waitlist have either been registered or will be contacted about registration in this section.

Cancelled P6 & P7 modules – BASM 504, BAIT 511, BAHR 509, BAAC 521

Posted on by

Please note that the following P6 & P7 modules have been cancelled due to instructor availability or low enrollment numbers:
P6
BAHR 509 001 Managing the Family Business
BAIT 511 001 Managing Information Technology
BASM 504 Intellectual Property and Business Strategy
P7
BAAC 521 Taxation and Decision Making

While we certainly hope to run all the modules that are scheduled each year it’s not always possible to do so when the enrollment numbers don’t support it or our instructor availability changes.
For anyone who was interested in BAIT 511 Managing Information Technology but wasn’t yet registered please note that a section of this module (BAIT 511 302) is being offered in the PT MBA Cohort 10 program in P7.

We have updated the FT MBA P6 & P7 Schedule to reflect these changes, along with the CSM Track Requirements Sheet, and you will find these on your Connect site or the Current Students website. You will also find the Cohort 10 PT MBA program schedule on this site as well.
