Master in Business Administration

We understand that not all students have a business background, but still want to complete their MBA. That's why we offer leveling courses to prospective students who will be entering the program without extensive professional or academic business backgrounds. The leveling courses are in three key business subject areas: accounting, management and marketing, and economics and finance. These leveling courses will help provide the necessary business background for advanced study throughout the MBA process. A graduate admissions representative will evaluate your transcript for the required prerequisites and then determine if any of the leveling courses are needed.
