Special Towards M.B.A.

Students with a Bachelor’s degree other than in Business:

Applicants to the M.B.A. Program who fulfill the admissions requirements but hold an undergraduate degree other than in Business Administration, are admitted as special towards M.B.A. and required to take prerequisite/core courses of the Program before taking graduate courses. A special towards MBA student is not allowed to fail an undergraduate course. A special towards MBA student is promoted to the Graduate Program if he/she:

  1. Has obtained an average of 80 in the prerequisite courses.
  2. Has not failed a course.
  3. Has not repeated more than one course.

A special towards MBA student who fulfills these requirements should petition for change of status by submitting the Change of Status form to the Admissions and Registrar’s Offices.

The prerequisite/core courses are defined by the course requirements listed below, and their completion is a prerequisite to enter the professional/core courses. Note that all or part of the prerequisite/core courses may be satisfied by a student’s prior work at the undergraduate level.

Special Students

Students who possess a Bachelor’s degree may wish to enroll in graduate courses without intending to obtain a Master’s degree. These students may enroll in no more than six semester hours upon submission of a graduate application. Their courses count toward professional growth and in-service education only. Any change of status (Special to Regular) will be made by a petition to the Admissions Committee. Credit for courses taken prior to change of status will count toward a degree only by the approval of the Graduate Studies Committee on condition that the student has fulfilled the admission requirements of the University at the time of admission as a special student. Courses which are selected by a student who has not been officially admitted and assigned a program counselor cannot count towards a degree. The University cannot be held responsible for the student’s selection of such courses.
