The Graduate School of Management requires that each student acquire the proper foundational business and management knowledge necessary to benefit most from the MBA curriculum. Students who have not completed the competencies comprising this foundational knowledge may be required to satisfy up to 12 additional credits in a satisfactory manner.
The courses listed below are considered essential to a fundamental understanding of modern business and management practices. Foundational knowledge courses are 1.5 credit hours each, for a total of 12 credit hours.
- Foundations of Economic Analysis
- Foundations of Financial Accounting
- Foundations of Information Technology
- Foundations of Marketing
- Foundations of Management & Strategy
- Foundations of Management Science
- Foundations of Managerial Accounting
- Foundations of Statistics
Students with undergraduate degrees in business will have completed most or all of the foundation courses. Students with other undergraduate majors or those have not satisfied the entire foundational knowledge base have many options for acquiring their foundation.
Satisfying the Foundational Knowledge Base:
Enrolling in graduate foundation courses if accepted to the Graduate School of Management
Enrolling in undergraduate equivalent courses at another college or university
*Successfully completing the appropriate College Level Examination Program (CLEP) or Challenge exams
*We are developing a set of ‘waiver exams’ or ‘proficiency tests’ for those students who feel they do not need to take the full course. If a student can pass the waiver exam for the course, then the student is released from the obligation to take that particular class, thus reducing the program of study. Please contact your Admission Executive for more information. The maximum number of hours that may be “waived” is 12.
