Prospective students who may require foundation courses can begin the program as a non-degree student. Students with a non-degree status may only take up to 12 credit hours of M.B.A. foundation courses. M.B.A. Core courses are not open to non-degree students.

Additionally, students who must take all five of the M.B.A. foundational courses essentially have completed the Graduate Certificate in Management.  Successful completion of all five courses with a 3.2 GPA will meet the requirements of admission into the core MBA program.  

Students who do not require foundation courses must enter the program fully admitted.
