The Sofaer academic curriculum runs over five 8-week modules, from October to September. The core curriculum – making up roughly half of the credits Sofaer students need to graduate – covers the essential topics of an MBA education including: economics, finance, marketing, management, ethics, and accounting.
Students complete their remaining course requirements via Sofaer’s elective course offerings which provide enrichment in specialized areas, such as entrepreneurial finance, environment and sustainable practices, and business strategy. With advisor approval, students may also take elective courses outside the Sofaer curriculum. including courses in Recanati’s other MBA programs or Tel Aviv University’s other international MA programs.
