MBA Concentration Update Form User Guide

Owen MBA students can add or remove a concentration, specialization, or emphasis via the MBA Concentration Update Form. Please only fill out this form if you would like to add or remove a concentration, specialization, or emphasis.

Students will be notified when the declaration has been processed. Be sure to refresh your degree audit once your academic record has been updated.

You may only double-count one elective across two concentrations. Courses cannot be counted towards three or more concentrations. If you do not declare a concentration, the default concentration in General Management will remain.
