The graduate program in business administration is designed to qualify the graduate for broad managerial responsibility in business, government, educational institutions, healthcare and other organizations. Courses comprising the Master of Business Administration Program are offered in Green Bay, Oshkosh, Stevens Point and online. With classes offered during the early evening hours, it is possible to pursue the MBA degree on either a full-time or a part-time basis.
Completion of the program will lead to the degree: Master of Business Administration (MBA).
In addition to the requirements of the Office of Graduate Studies specified in the first section of this bulletin, the program has established the following policies and procedures for admission:
Common Body of Knowledge
Applicants are required to have a common body of business knowledge equivalent to the foundation course requirements. Normally, this requirement is satisfied if applicants have earned an undergraduate business degree and completed undergraduate course equivalents from AACSB-accredited or other approved business programs, with a C or better.
Applicants without an undergraduate business degree and who lack adequate course preparation in business may be admitted to the MBA program but will be expected to take appropriate foundation courses or their equivalents. Units (crs.) earned in these courses are not applicable to the 30-33 units (crs.) required for the graduate degree and must be completed prior to taking MBA core courses. A proficiency option also is available for all foundation course requirements after admission.
