Prior to enrolling in graduate courses in the M.B.A. program, students should meet minimum proficiencies in math and computer skills. Students should have a minimum of a college-level finite mathematics class. The Indiana University course equivalent is MATH M118 Finite Mathematics. Students are also expected to be proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint. Candidates who are deficient in any of these areas should speak with the director of Undergraduate and Graduate Programs to review the different options available to them to satisfy the prerequisites.

Students must complete all the foundation courses before taking core classes. Some core classes also have specific course prerequisites. They will be stated in the schedule of classes.
