It’s often said that variety is the spice of life. And that seems to be the mantra for MBA programs today. Although a generalist degree, business schools are adding a growing number of “specializations” to their MBA courses that give students a deeper dive into subjects such as big data analytics, entrepreneurship or social impact.

The INSEAD MBA, for example, now features 75 different optional elective courses. Artificial intelligence, blockchain and neuroscience are just a few of the modules introduced in the past 18 months — subjects that were barely discussed at business schools even a decade ago.
