REMAINING GRADUATE REQUIREMENTS

MBA FOUNDATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
As the MBA is a generalist master's business program designed to meet the further educational needs of the broadest range of working professionals with potentially non-business-related undergraduate degrees, no foundational courses are required.     Nevertheless, three-session self-study requisite courses are included with certain MBA courses and are designed to specifically prepare non-business graduates for the requirements of the MBA level course. The requirement for a student to complete a requisite course is determined by the MBA Program Director. All requisites must be completed by the end of the third semester and before continuation to the balance of the MBA program.  The requisite courses carry no credit or tuition fees. The pass to proceed threshold is 85%.        Basic Concept Requisites Policy:    The following table indicates the criteria by which decisions are normally made in relation to prerequisite exemptions.
