No more than six elective credits can be drawn from one-creditcourses.Corporate ResidencyStudents in the full-time MBA program are expected to complete a three-month,six-month, or two six-month corporate residency work assignment[s]. This is acritical component of the Northeastern MBA learning experience. The corporateresidency must be embedded within the course curriculum and cannot beapproved after completion of all coursework. Students must successfullycomplete the Career Management class to participate in the corporate residencyrecruiting process.Students will work with the Graduate Career Center to develop an appropriatecorporate residency placement. While corporate residencies are not guaranteed,it is the expectation of the program that all students will complete a residencyafter their first year of classes, barring exceptional circumstances. Students onresidency are expected to work full-time in the residency and will not bepermitted to take any classes during the day and must receive prior approvalfrom their advisor for any evening/weekend classes (maximum six credits persemester).The Graduate Career Center must approve all placements intended to fulfill thecorporate residency component of the program. Students are required toprovide the Graduate Career Center a copy of their offer letter for corporateresidency and a job description if the position is self-developed.While rare, students failing to obtain an approved corporate residency will takeclasses Summer 2 and Fall semesters and apply for a corporate residency positionfor January - June. Students must be authorized by the Graduate Career Center topursue a January residency. Note: Students on an International Visa cannot haveresidency in their final term so if they do a January - June residency, they arerequired to take classes the following Summer 2.Students on academic probation are not eligible to participate in the CorporateResidency program. Students with a GPA under 2.8 after Fall semester, year 1,may not search for a residency until they have satisfied the conditions of theirprobation.Students placed on probation after Spring semester and who have already secured aresidency position will be permitted to participate. However, if a residency placement6

has not been confirmed after academic progress has been evaluated following the end ofthe academic term, the students must defer the residency until they have been removedfrom probation.There will be opportunities to extend corporate residency up to twelve monthsbased on employer needs and subject to OGS policies. This is particularly valuable tostudents with less work experience coming to the program or those who are makingsignificant career changes. Students who elect to perform a second six-monthresidency, January - June, will have their graduation date changed from August toDecember. Students interested in a possible extended residency must make theirinterest known to the Career Center and work closely with the staff to identifyopportunities and complete the appropriate processes. Students who complete asecond six-month residency must take at least one credit of coursework during theirtime working to demonstrate forward progress in their degree.ConcentrationsStudents will elect to pursue two of nine available concentrations. Students willchoose their concentrations during the fall semester of their first year prior to springsemester registration in November. Students are encouraged to consult with theiracademic advisor throughout their program to ensure they are registered for thecorrect courses and that the requirements of the concentrations are met.
