Undergraduates in the Arts and Sciences and Engineering and Natural Sciences Colleges may pursue a sequence of courses in business that will prepare them for the M.B.A. program.  The courses listed below may supplement the student's major area, fulfill some requirements in the general curriculum or satisfy elective credits. These courses satisfy foundation course requirements for the M.B.A. degree.

Completion of some or all of these courses with grades of B or better enables the student to move easily into the M.B.A. program.  Satisfactory completion of all these courses should allow a student to complete the M.B.A. with only one full year of graduate study.

Graduate level foundation courses for the M.B.A. program may also be taken by a student enrolled in the joint B.S./M.B.A. or B.A./M.B.A. program during his or her senior year provided that he or she has been admitted into the M.B.A. program.

Students are encouraged to apply for early admission to the M.B.A. program, no later than at the end of their third year of study (90 hours).  Overall grade point average is an important factor in admission to the M.B.A. program.  Students should plan to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) toward the end of their junior year.
