Step 5: Determine Your Specialization

But what if you’re bent set on a particular field or industry? Should you close your options? Definitely. Admission officers tend to smile at the level of dedication so if you’re comfortable with narrowing your focus, definitely consider this route.
Specialized programs generally require you to take a few required MBA courses before beginning your specialization component.
Some of the most popular?
Be sure to identify schools known for the specialization you wish to pursue and research their application process. For example, Harvard is known for its general management program, Northwestern’s Kellogg has a great marketing specialization, and UPenn’s Wharton school is tops in finance.
