Structure

Full
- Time program
The program
is divided into 3 terms. All students are required
to take 8 basic core courses in the first two terms
while the last term is designed to thesis writing
or additional elective courses in order to graduate
within one year. This gives a total of 36 credits
in the three terms. An additional term is designed
to accommodate non-thesis students who could not pass
all 12 required courses in the three terms.In order
to accommodate foreign visiting scholars, each term
of the program is divided into 4 months, with one
course offered in each month.
Part
- Time program
The
program is divided into six terms and covers two years.The
course structure is the same as that of the full-time
program, but part-time students are required to take
only two courses in each term.There are also two options
for part-time students - thesis option and non-thesis
option. |
| |
|
| Thesis/Comprehensive
Examination |
Students enrolled in MABE program could choose to do a thesis
or a comprehensive exam on their third term for full-time
and fouth and sixth term for part-time. For thesis writing,
students need to find a certain topic of interest within the
areas of Business and Managerial Economics where a professor
in the field of interest would be assigned to be the advisor
of the thesis.
For
students who choose to do comprehensive examination, the examination
would be held during May after the ending of the 11th and
12th subject. Comprehensive examination can be taken only
if students pass all the 12th subjects including the individual
study course with a satisfactory grade.
The examination
is composed of a written examination and an oral examination.
Students need to pass both examinations to be considered a
graduate of the Master of Arts in Business and Managerial
Economics. For those who do not pass the examination will
be given a second chance for both written and oral examination.
Inability to fulfill the second comprehensive examination
would automatically result in the termination of the student
status in this program. The comprehensive examination is given
once each term. |
