Hankamer School of Business
“The lockstep format causes students to move through the core courses as a unit, creating a team approach to learning and camaraderie among class members.”
Overview
Baylor’s MBA program is a distinctive combination of theory and practice. The fully integrated curriculum incorporates general management theory, multidisciplinary applications, personal development, and practical management skills in three core semesters called “lockstep” semesters. The “lockstep” format causes students to move through the core courses as a unit, creating a team approach to learning and camaraderie among class members.
Lockstep 1
Define the purpose of business. During the six module courses, you will explore the goal of the firm and fundamental business concepts as defined by the basic principles of cost accounting, strategy, managerial economics, customer focus, decision making with risk, and corporate finance. In conjunction with the module courses, you take semester-long core courses where you learn the impact of technology on organizations, the strategic view of operations management, and effective communication.
Lockstep 2
Discover ideas and technologies that lead to a company’s competitive advantage. Every day you will be challenged to think deeper, consider a greater range of perspectives, debate alternatives, and seek solutions. In the six module courses, you will focus on innovation and change and how companies differentiate themselves in the marketplace. During a semester-long core course, you will discover how the management of a company’s most valued resource—people—impacts the success or failure of a company.
Lockstep 3
Deliver results for the company. The six module courses describe metrics, financial statements, strategic market planning, market structure, and corporate governance. Furthermore, your elective courses provide the opportunity for you to expand these ideas in more detail. In your final Focus Firm class, you will serve in a leadership position to deliver a comprehensive, fully integrative analysis of the company’s project to firm executives.
