NOTE: ADMISSIONS SUSPENDED

The Global MBA is a unique degree designed to prepare working professionals for a career in the dynamic world of global business. The program is focused on developing global leaders who are able to address problems and take advantage of opportunities in the global marketplace. The program is offered jointly with the University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt, Germany and the T.A. Pai Management Institute in Bangalore, India. Students from each campus participate as a cohort in this 20-month program, which begins in Oshkosh every July. Two-week onsite classes at each campus are required; the remainder of the courses also are required but are completed online. One-third of the curriculum is taught by faculty at each university.



Completion of the program will lead to the degree: Global Master of Business Administration (Global MBA).


NOTE: ADMISSIONS SUSPENDED

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 grade of C or better.

Applicants without an undergraduate business degree and who lack adequate course preparation in business may be conditionally admitted to the Global MBA program but will be expected to take appropriate foundation courses or their equivalents prior to beginning the degree courses. Units (crs.) earned in these courses are not applicable to the 30 units (crs.) required for the Global MBA degree. A proficiency option also is available for all foundation course requirements after admission.
