Second year concentrations will provide depth and/or breadth to the student's experience, as well as marketability.
While achieving a general management degree with core competencies is critical, identifying functional areas where you can dig deeper is also important. Being an expert in one or two key areas could give you a competitive edge. Adding breadth to a narrower career focus can also prove beneficial when seeking employment and longer-term success.
