Master of Business Administration

Prerequisites and Foundation Courses

Students who do not have undergraduate degrees in Business Administration must complete the basic foundation or pre-requisite courses in order to earn the MBA. These may be taken prior to entering the program, or while enrolled. We offer graduate survey courses online in place of most undergraduate prerequisites. These are especially designed for non-business undergraduates. A description of the survey courses can be found here.
