PMBA Curriculum
Level I – Foundation Courses (0–16.5 credits)
Foundation courses are required for students without prior business courses. These requirements can be waived with prior graduate ("B" or better) or undergraduate ("C" or better) course work. A test-out option is also available for all foundation courses to students after admission in full standing to the MBA Program. Foundation courses are available at UW Oshkosh, in Green Bay and online. A grade of "B" or better must be earned in each foundation course.
Why do I need a grade of B or better in graduate foundation course work? 
Foundation courses can be completed either before or after admission to the MBA Program. However, if you are interested in financial aid, you must be an admitted student. A completed bachelor's degree is required before foundation courses can be taken.
