There are six different concentrations from which you may choose: Marketing, Finance, Management, Strategic, Public and Not-for-Profit and MBA/CPA

  Policies and Procedures

  • Students must maintain a 3.00 GPA in all required graduate course work attempted in the MBA program. Prerequisite MBA courses do not count as part of the required courses.
    
    
  • Students are expected to enroll in at least one course every school year (fall semester through summer session). Failure to comply will result in students' dismissal from the program.   To be readmitted, students must reapply and follow the rules, regulations, and requirements in effect at the time of reapplication. Matriculated students must have signed Plans of Study on file before they will be allowed to register for courses. Plans must be developed in consultation with their advisors before the pre-registration period. Students must complete all requirements for the degree within five years of the date of admission to the degree program.
    
    
  • A maximum of six semester hours of appropriate graduate credit completed elsewhere within the past five years with a grade of at least B may be counted toward the degree requirements. Determination of the acceptance of transfer credit will be made at the time of matriculation.    Application for transfer credit subsequent to matriculation must be approved before students register for courses at other institutions.
    
    
  • To avoid any last-minute problems in finishing their degrees, students must complete and submit to the Graduate Office an Application for MBA Degree Completion. This application should be filed after students have completed 27 hours of required course work (before registering for the last 9 hours). When completing this application, students may want to talk with the program advisor and discuss tentatively scheduled course offerings.
