Quick Start Foundation

Quick Start Foundation Requirements 

Foundations courses are required to prepare students for full admission into the graduate business curriculum. Students with a bachelor’s degree in business from an AACSB-accredited
institution will be understood to have automatically met the MBA Foundations requirements.
In other cases, the Graduate Business Office will evaluate the student’s transcript(s) for prior
coursework equivalencies. Applicants who have not met all of the Foundations coursework
requirements may be “conditionally admitted” for the purpose of Foundations completion. Upon
completion of the Foundations requirements, a student is considered for admission into the
graduate business curriculum. Typically, one graduate course may be taken in the same semester
as the final Foundations course while still under conditional admission status. The student’s
overall Foundations GPA is expected to be at least 3.0 in order to be considered for admission
into a graduate business program. Students who do not have at least a 3.0 Foundations GPA
will not be permitted to take one graduate course with their last Foundations course while under
conditional admission status.


Students may contact the Graduate Business Office about challenging a Foundations course
requirement by examination. Only one challenge exam per Foundations course may be taken.
Challenge exams are an option only prior to the first entry into the course. No credit by
examination will be given for courses contained in the graduate business curriculum.

Students who stop taking classes for at least 2 consecutive regular semesters (Fall or Spring)
must file an appeal for reinstatement in the Graduate Business Programs Office. If such
reinstatement is granted, the student will be subject to the Bulletin in effect at the time of
reinstatement.
