Yes, there are pre-term requirements before students begin in the fall semester.

      1. Students will be required to take a pre-term assessment to determine their proficiency in quantitatively-based subjects. Deficiencies in these subject areas will require completion of a short foundational course (approximately 20 hours of time required to complete each course). Addressing potential deficiencies prior to beginning the MBA core curriculum will ensure that all students are equipped for success in their subsequent studies.
      2. Students will also participate in a one to two-week team building orientation seminar prior to the start of their fall coursework.

Students will take a total of 16 credits during the first fall semester:

      • Financial Accounting (3 credit hours)
