Placement Exam/Online Option
MBA Foundation Courses

There are two ways to exempt 7000-level foundation courses within the MBA program.

Admitted students with undergraduate degrees in business or economics from AACSB or EQUIS accredited institutions with grades of B- or higher in equivalent courses will be exempted from MBA 7025 and/or MBA 7035.

Admitted students with or without the undergraduate degree in business or economics have the option of either taking the 3 hour courses or fulfilling the foundation requirements through an online placement exam on a pass/fail basis. Students who elect to take the online test must do so before the start of their first semester of enrollment since these foundation courses are the prerequisites for many other courses.
