Graduate Foundations
Because some foundational experience in business and economics is crucial to success in the Shepherd M.B.A. program, students admitted to the M.B.A. should meet certain content area prerequisites. These prerequisites can be met by successful completion of the following course work at the undergraduate level (these are recommended prerequisites):
Accounting and Economics
Statistics and Business Law
Introduction to Finance
Management and Marketing
Required foundation courses are: Accounting, Statistics, and Economics.
Applicants who lack this undergraduate course work can fulfill the foundational requirements in one of three ways:
- Taking the appropriate graduate foundations course work at the graduate level (online MBA 599 courses: these do not count toward the M.B.A.).
- Passing the appropriate CLEP test(s).
- Submitting a portfolio of work-related experience or requesting an evaluation of academic course work by the M.B.A. coordinator.
Applicants may begin the M.B.A. program while completing their prerequisite courses.
