Requirements
To earn a Master of Business Administration, the student must complete the following degree requirements:
Foundation courses (0-15 credit hours)
See
MA and MBA Foundation Courses
Nine core business courses (27 credit hours)
Note: MGMT 66080 is the capstone course, to be taken in the last term of the student’s program.
Four elective courses (12 credit hours), selected from one or more business disciplines.
Students with an undergraduate degree in business may be advised to select a higher level course in place of a business core course or courses. In the event that taking a core course would require a student to repeat coursework equivalent to that which the student has already taken, the school dean or the student’s academic advisor may advise the student to select an alternative, higher level elective course (from within the same discipline) to fulfill the core requirement. Note that no such core-alternative may simultaneously serve to fulfill the core requirement and the student’s emphasis coursework. In the event that a core alternative course is chosen, the student must still complete four courses within a single business discipline in order to earn an emphasis in that area.
