We are pleased to share that effective the Spring 2022 term we are removing the following prerequisites from the MBA program. This change applies to all current and future MBA student degree programs. If one of the following prerequisites was originally required for your program, it is no longer required.
- Principles of Marketing
- Principles of Management
- Operations Management
The following prerequisites will remain in place.
- Financial/Managerial Accounting – Can be fulfilled via the class MBUS 560: Accounting Analysis (3)
- Principles of Finance – Can be fulfilled via the class MBUS 520: Financial Management (2)
- Management Information Systems – Can be fulfilled via a Proficiency or CLEP exam. The CLEP exam will no longer be managed through the CLEP Testing Center (see notice below), and the Proficiency Exam fee has been removed.
- Business Law – For programs with an available general elective credit (General MBA, MBA with Finance Concentration), the Business Law prerequisite can be fulfilled by taking one of two one-credit elective courses, MBUS 699: Law of Business (offered fall term) or MBUS 699: Legal Environment of Business (offered spring term); the course will double count as one general elective credit.
MBA with Project Management Concentration students don’t have any general elective credits available in their concentration so will need to take the Business Law CLEP test to fulfill the prerequisite.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Coding prerequisites as fulfilled or waived for degree evaluations (DE) is a manual process. Tina Swannack, the Graduate Advisor, will be coding each MBA student’s outstanding Marketing, Management and/or Operations prerequisites as waived when she reviews your degree evaluations for graduation. This takes place one semester prior to your graduation term. Even though your prerequisites may not yet be coded for your DE, you won’t be blocked from registering for the related upper-level MBA core course because the prerequisites for each course in Zagweb have already been removed.
