Additional Information

Additional Program Requirements

Foundation Prerequisite Requirements MBA Programs : The foundation requirements must be completed in order to continue in the program beyond the first year. Credit may be given for these requirements based on prior academic credit, completion of programs with similar content, or experience. It is anticipated that most foundation requirements would have been previously satisfied by undergraduate course work for the typical business undergraduate student or a student in a business related field. In addition, courses will be taught periodically which satisfy these requirements as a service to interested program participants. Credits earned below the 510 level are not a part of the 45 hours required for program completion. Participants may simultaneously complete their final foundation requirements and begin to take core courses as long as prerequisite requirements for core courses are met.
Students with weak writing or oral communication skills will be required to complete extra coursework in those areas. Such coursework will appear on the student’s transcript, but may not be counted towards graduation in the student’s elective coursework.
