The MBA Program Requirements include Core and Elective courses and must total 30 credits. For students enrolled in a 4+1 program, the following program requirements must be met:
Admissions Requirements. Students will apply to the MBA program prior to the semester in which they intend to start taking MBA courses. Students will need to document the completion of at least 108 credits prior to the start of MBA courses. A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.25 is required. In addition, students must have completed an undergraduate internship prior to the start of MBA courses. For the inaugural semester (i.e. the semester in which they complete their undergraduate program), students enrolled in the 4+1 program must not exceed 18 credit hours for that semester.
Non-business majors wishing to pursue the 4+1 program can complete the GMAC Business Fundamentals (Finance, Accounting, and Statistics).
Core Courses. Students enrolled in a 4+1 program will begin taking MBA core and elective courses in the summer after the completion of the undergraduate program at the rate of three to four courses per semester until the completion of the degree. No more than four courses can be completed in anyone semester.
Elective Courses. Students enrolled in a 4+1 program will enroll in two elective courses at the pace of one elective course per semester to fulfill the elective course requirements. Students are encouraged to select a specialization within the MBA course offerings to focus their MBA elective course selections.
In summary, students will complete 30 credits to meet the requirements of the MBA Program. Courses offered in both in-person and online formats, and students will typically complete multiple courses is each format.
