MBA
Curriculum and Courses
The MBA program consists of 18–22 semester hours
of foundation courses in Phase I, and 36–39 semester
hours in Phases II-IV (depending upon the concentration).
After reviewing the student’s transcripts at the
time of admission, the MBA Advisor determines the number
of foundation courses a student must take.
Phase I

Foundation
courses give students the necessary background to begin

18 hours of foundation coursework (listed below) or
provide official transcript evidence to the MBA Graduate
Committee that appropriate foundation coursework has
been previously completed. Once a student enrolls in
the MBA program, they may not take undergraduate courses
to meet the Phase I degree plan requirements.
To be
waived out of Phase I course(s), prospective students
may take the undergraduate equivalents listed below
