Whither general management curriculum ?

At Wharton, a common question this year is - whats your major? You could have one, two or even three majors in the MBA, but what if you have no major? Thats my usual answer to that question - I have no major, which makes some people think Im joking.

Im not, and here's why - Im getting myself a general management education. There is no major by that name, so what will be will be ... viola, no major!

Fall 2005, Im taking 2 finance classes (advanced corporate finance, corporate valuations), 1 accounting class (problems in financial reporting), 1 strategy class (strategic planning and control), 1 operations/marketing class (retail supply chain management) and 1 real estate class (international real estate comparisons). I expect to take a similar eclectic mix in Spring 2006.

Thats my general management curriculum, and it doesnt have a 'major' name yet. I think by the time I get to the end of my MBA, my courses will come together to fullfill the requirements for me to get me a legit major, until then, I have no major.
