The M.B.A. program consists of two parts: 1) prerequisite courses, and 2) graduate courses. The prerequisite courses may be taken prior to admission or after admission to the graduate program. Students may not enroll in any graduate course until they complete the specified prerequisite course(s) for that particular graduate course. Students with an undergraduate degree in business from an accredited institution may be required to take a specified prerequisite course(s). The sequence of graduate courses is planned for August admission to the program, but a student may also enter in the spring or summer.

Prerequisite Courses (27 Semester Hours)

Note:

Credit for or enrollment in these twenty-seven semester hours of prerequisite courses is required. The specific prerequisite is to be taken before taking the graduate course requiring it. Prerequisites must be completed with a “C” or better.
