M.B.A. Programs
Program Requirements
A range of 41-51 semester hours is required for the M.B.A. degree. Previous course work is evaluated by the Graduate Programs Office of the Zarb School of Business upon a student's admission. Some residency workshops, core competencies, and advanced core courses may be waived based upon previous academic work, and this will determine the total number of workshops and semester hours required for the M.B.A. degree. No credit will be allowed for core competency or graduate courses with D grades. These courses must be repeated.
