Hi,
I am a 1st MBA student at Simon Business School.
Here is how Elective works.
For the first Fall Quarter, all the courses are core courses, i.e they are mandatory irrespective of your concentration.
Beginning Winter Quarter - 1st week of Jan till 2nd Week of March- you can opt for maximum of 3 electives plus 1 core course:Operations Management.
Some of the electives that are offered and have been taken by my classmates are Pricing Policy (extremely famous!), Financial Statement Analysis, Investments, Marketing Analytics (they teach R!), marketing research, Econ for Competitive Strategy.
Hope it helps shed some light.
