After finishing your Core courses, you may choose from multiple elective courses in the Evening & Weekend MBA program each semester. Our electives vary in units and can be 1, 2, or 3 units. On our Elective Schedule, students can see how many units a course is and learn more about the course by clicking on the hyperlinked course descriptions.
The Program Office releases a schedule of available electives to our Homepage prior to registration and enrollment for the semester. Refer to the Registration Timeline for details about when schedules will be released.
Most (but not all) of our electives are offered at least once in an academic year. Please refer to the latest Elective Schedule for course availability.
Previous Elective Schedules
Prior year elective schedules are provided as a planning tool and can show which classes tend to be offered year to year. While there is no guarantee that any particular course will be offered regularly or in the same semester, there tends to be roughly 80% fidelity on the elective schedule from one Fall to the next and one Spring to the next. Elective schedules are largely based on faculty availability and specific course offerings cannot be guaranteed.
Fall 2024 | Spring 2024 | Summer 2024 |
Fall 2023 | Spring 2023 | Summer 2023 |
Fall 2022 | Spring 2022 | Summer 2022 |
For more information on how to select electives, check out our page on Researching Electives. Below are some recommended electives for any career path as well as some suggestions per industry. As a reminder, these are not a comprehensive list of all electives ever offered but a helpful tool as you research which courses are right for you.
Prime Electives
Prime Electives are classes that are recommended regardless of industry or function as they help students develop into business leaders and managers.

Electives by Industry and Function
This section is designed to give you some advice on the courses that are considered to give you the best preparation for a specific industry or function. By no means are these lists intended to be anything more than advice that you can choose to follow or reject. You should consider your own strengths, weaknesses, experiences, and interests in deciding which electives are most important for you to take.
Each section also includes resources beyond the courses offered by the EWMBA program. Visit the Career Management Group to access more detailed information to help you gain insight into various industries and functions.
