The course\u2019s small class sizes are designed to promote student interaction, and assigned readings and writing assignments will supplement class discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Topics to be covered in the course include business structures, organization leadership, ethics, human resources, marketing, finance, data analysis, accounting, information technology, strategy and tactics, and global business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students must have previously earned a bachelor\u2019s degree to enroll in MBA 5001, Topics in Business: Mini MBA. Once completed, the three-credit course may be applied as an open elective to eligible WilmU graduate degree programs, with program chair approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wilmu.edu\/business\/mba_index.aspx#minimba\">our website<\/a> or contact recruiting@wilmu.edu.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WilmU\u2019s new Mini MBA course offers an overview of corporate concepts.
