Curriculum Fit
Definition
Curriculum fit describes how well an MBA programme's content matches individual career goals. Relevant factors are core and elective modules, practical components, study abroad options, capstone projects, language of instruction and study format. A programme ranked 40th with a precisely matching curriculum, a reachable location and a relevant alumni network usually delivers more career impact than a higher-ranked programme whose focus misses your objectives.
Example: "The curriculum fit was right: four of six electives matched her career goal."
