[craigfin]

Can anyone provide me a list of the textbooks that Patten uses for these courses:

MBA500 MBA Foundations
MBA600 Decision Analysis
MBA605 Leadership and Organizational Behavior
MBA610 Managerial Accounting
MBA615 Marketing
MBA620 Managerial Finance
MBA625 Business Law and Ethics
MBA630 The Global Economy
MBA635 Strategic Management
MBA640 Operations Management
MBA645 Managing the Global Workforce
MBA650 Sales Management

I am going to try to get ahead start on studying for these classes. Also if you can give me an idea of what the MBA foundations course is like?

The books are all provided for free through the classes, I wouldn't bother getting them separately

I mainly want to get an early read on them, compile notes and study ahead of time. So I will be ready to blast through the classes. I am hoping to get through the classes as fast as possible. On a side note it was mentioned in another post about Patten's strict honesty policy. I don't believe I am asking for any inside info as I am pretty sure Patten is not the only University to use those textbooks and more than likely the textbooks are available to the public.

Select the program you are interested in from that link and then go read through the actual courses. You can see all the course materials outside of what the assessments consist of even before you enroll.

Clicking on the view course button, but nothing happens.

That only works if you have an account and ae logged in. Not sure if you need to be enrolled in order to have an account

I have an account so I logged in. But I can only see details for classes in my own degree plan.
